- For each of the following unrelated situations, calculate the annual amortization expense and prepare a journal entry to record the expense: A. A patent with a seventeen-year remaining legal life was purchased for $850,000. The patent will be usable for another six years. B. A patent was acquired on a new tablet. The cost of the patent itself was only $12,000, but the market value of the patent is $150,000. The company expects to be able to use this patent for all twenty years of its life.arrow_forwardCalico Inc. purchased a patent on a new drug it created. The patent cost $12,000. The patent has a life of twenty years, but Calico expects to be able to sell the drug for fifty years.

- Suppose that you purchased industrial equipment that requires special software to run the machine. The licensing agreement calls for a $20,000 payment immediately and $10,000 every other year to renew and get any update on the software. If the machine is to be kept for 48 years, determine the total equivalent cost in present worth at an interest rate of 10%.arrow_forwardLarson Manufacturing is considering purchasing a new injection-molding machine for $250,000to expand its production capacity. It will cost anadditional $20,000 to do the site preparation. Withthe new injection-molding machine installed, Larson Manufacturing expects to increase its revenueby $90,000. The machine will be used for five years,with an expected salvage value of $75,000. At aninterest rate of 12%, would the purchase of the injection-molding machine be justified?arrow_forwardCisco Systems is purchasing a new bar code–scanning device for its servicecenter in San Francisco. The table that follows lists the relevant cost items for this purchase. The operating expenses for the new system are $10,000 per year, and the useful life of the system is expected to be five years. The SV for depreciation purposes is equal to 25% of the hardware cost. Solve, a. What is the BV of the device at the end of year three if the SL depreciationmethod is used? b. Suppose that after depreciating the device for two years with the SL method, the firm decides to switch to the doubledeclining balance depreciation method for the remainder of the device’s life (the remaining three years). What is the device’s BV at the end of four years?arrow_forward
- Tinney & Smyth Inc. is considering the purchase of a new batch polymer-bonding machine for producing Crazy Rubber, a new children's toy. The machine will increase EBITDA by $215,000 per year for the next two years. The machine's purchase price is $260,000 and the salvage value at the end of two years is $46,800. The machine is classified as 3-year property with MACRS depreciation rates for the first two years of 33.33% and 44.45%. What is the tax on sale associated with selling the machine after two years? Use a tax rate of 35%. Round to the nearest dollar. Check Answerarrow_forwardAn injection molding machine can be purchased and installed for $90,000. It is in the seven-year GDS property class and is expected to be kept in service for eight years. It is believed that $10,000 can be obtained when the machine is disposed of at the end of year eight. The net annual value added (i.e., revenues less expenses) that can be attributed to this machine is constant over eight years and amounts to $15,000. An effective income tax rate of 40% is used by the company, and the after-tax MARR equals 15% per year. Solve, a. What is the approximate value of the company’s before-tax MARR?arrow_forwardAn injection molding machine can be purchased and installed for $90,000.

- As a result of improvements in product engineering, United Automation is able to sell one of its two milling machines. Both machines perform the same function but differ in age. The newer machine could be sold today for $68,000. Its operating costs are $22,400 a year, but at the end of five years, the machine will require a $18,800 overhaul (which is tax deductible). Thereafter, operating costs will be $31,200 until the machine is finally sold in year 10 for $6,800. The older machine could be sold today for $26,200. If it is kept, it will need an immediate $26,000 (tax-deductible) overhaul. Thereafter, operating costs will be $35,000 a year until the machine is finally sold in year 5 for $6,800. Both machines are fully depreciated for tax purposes. The company pays tax at 21%. Cash flows have been forecasted in real terms. The real cost of capital is 14%. a. Calculate the equivalent annual costs for selling the new machine and for selling the old machine.

From year 10, the revenues will remain constant ($52,000) for anindefinite period.• The machine is to be overhauled every 10 years. The expense for each overhaulis $40,000.If Alpha expects a present worth of at least $100,000 at a MARR of 10% for thisproject, what is the maximum investment that Alpha should be prepared to make?(a) $250,130 (b) $674,697(c) $350,100 (d) $509,600arrow_forwardThe Spartan Technology Company has a proposed contract with the Digital Systems Company of Michigan. The initial investment in land and equipment will be $320,000. Of this amount, $260,000 is subject to five-year MACRS depreciation. The balance is in nondepreciable property. The contract covers six years; at the end of six years, the nondepreciable assets will be sold for $60,000. The depreciated assets will have zero resale value. Use Table 12-12. The contract will require an additional investment of $59,000 in working capital at the beginning of the first year and, of this amount, $39,000 will be returned to the Spartan Technology Company after six years. The investment will produce $91,000 in income before depreciation and taxes for each of the six years. The corporation is in a 25 percent tax bracket and has a 8 percent cost of capital. a.
