Peachtree Construction Company, a highway contractor, is considering the purchase of a new trench excavator that costs 300000 and can dig a 3-foot-wide trench at the rate of 16 feet per hour. The contractor gets paid according to the usage of the equipment, 100 per hour. The expected average annual usage is 500 hours, and maintenance and operating costs will be 10 per hour. The contractor will depreciate the equipment by using a five-year MACRS, units-of-production method. At the end of five years, the excavator will be sold for 100000. Assuming the contractor’s marginal tax rate is 25% per year, determine the annual after-tax cash flow. In excel.
You have purchased a sand blaster booth for $10,000. The equipment has a useful
life of 8 years and will be depreciated to zero using the SOYD method over that
period of time. Assume that the salvage in year n is equal to the book value (i.e., zero
after the depreciation). In the first year, operating costs are expected to be $1000,
increasing by 30% in each subsequent year (this means simply a linear increase of
costs each year).
a. Draw the cash flow diagram without considering depreciation. This method will
help you understand what is going on for costs and investments.
b. If your MARR is 10%, then what is the economic life of the equipment?
C. Attach a file containing your diagram, calculations and your economic life
answer. An Excel file, with proper notations and diagrams, is acceptable.
A certain newly created company installed a 10,000kW electric generating plant at a
cost of P430 per kW. The estimated life of the plant is 15 years. Salvage value is
conservatively set at x% of the first cost. The interest on the sinking fund deposit is
3.5%. The accumulated depreciation after 10 years is P2,483,595.
a. What percentage of first cost is set as salvage value?
b. How much should the electric generating plant be priced at the end of 8 years?
c. If the salvage value is increased by 2%, what is the book value after 10 years?

- One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $90,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $145,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $45,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $22,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $8,182 per year.
