An 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. The effective tax rate is 40%, and the money is worth 8% per year. In present worth dollars, how much of the cash flow generated by the asset over its recovery period is lost to taxes?

- Your 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. Assume a 40 percent…arrow_forwardA company plans to add an additional production line at an initial cost of $ 1,250,000 that will give gross savings of $ 1,000,000 per year for 6 years. The annual costs for operating this line would be $250,000 for the same period. For tax purposes the company uses sum-of-the-year-digits depreciation, a salvage value of $125,000 and a life of 6 years for evaluating the project... The debt ratio is 60% and the cost of debt is 12% and the debt obligation to be paid in 6 constant total yearly payment of interest and principal. The company’s tax rate is 40% and the minimum acceptable rate of return is 15% for total cash flows. On the basis of equity cash flows pls determine if the additional production line is viable?

The related cash flow from operations, net of income taxes, is expected to be P10,000 a year for each of the first 6 years and P12,000 for the next 4 years. It was also estimated that the salvage value of the project at the end of year 1 to be P60,000 and decreases by P5,000 each year thereafter, provided further that at the end of 10 years, the machine has no salvage value.
