MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system. Life of the asset will be classified as per the internal revenue code.
Three years MACRS rates, Year 1: 33.33%, Year 2: 44.45%, Year 3: 14.81% and Year 4: 7.41%.

- The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given below. The company's cost of capital is 11 percent.

Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. years b. Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project? I. Salvage possibilities would have no effect on NPV and IRR. II. No. Salvage possibilities could only raise NPV and IRR. III. Yes. Salvage possibilities could only lower NPV and IRR. -Select-varrow_forwardAn asset with a first cost of $7,000 is depreciated using the Modified Accelerated Cost recovery System (MACRS) over a 5-year period. The cash flow before taxes (CFBT) is estimated at $10,000 for the first 4 years and $5000 thereafter as long as the asset is retained.

- Florida Construction Equipment Rentals (FCER) purchases a new 10,000-pound-rated crane for rental to its customers. This crane costs $1,125,000 and is expected to last for 25 years, at which time it will have an expected salvage value of $147,000. FCER earns $195,000 before-tax cash flow each year in rental income from this crane, and its total taxable income each year is between $10M and $15M. If FCER uses straight-line depreciation and a MARR of 15%, what is the present worth of the after-tax cash flow for this equipment? Should the company invest in this crane?arrow_forwardYour firm, Agrico Products, is considering the purchase of a tractor that has a net cost of $72,000, will increase pretax operating cash flows before taking account of depreciation effects by $24,000 per year, and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to $0 over five years at the rate of $14,400 per year, beginning the first year. (Annual cash flows will be $24,000 before taxes plus the tax savings that result from $14,400 of depreciation.) The board of directors is having a heated debate about whether the tractor actually will last five years. Specifically, Joan Lamm insists that she knows of some tractors have lasted only four years. Alan Grunewald agrees with Lamm, but he argues that most tractors do provide five years of service. Judy Maese says she has known some to last for as long as eight years. Given this discussion, the board asks you to prepare a scenario analysis to ascertain the importance of the uncertainty about the tractor’s life span.
