Dungan Corporation is evaluating a proposal to purchase a new drill press to replace a less efficient machine presently in use. The cost of the new equipment at time 0, including delivery and installation, is $200,000. If it is purchased, Dungan will incur costs of $5,000 to remove the present equipment and revamp its facilities. This $5,000 is tax deductible at time 0.
Depreciation for tax purposes will be allowed as follows: year 1, $40,000; year 2, $70,000; and in each of years 3 through 5, $30,000 per year. The existing equipment has a book and tax value of $100,000 and a remaining useful life of 10 years. However, the existing equipment can be sold for only $40,000 and is being

The existing equipment is expected to have a salvage value equal to its removal costs at the end of 10 years. The new equipment is expected to have a salvage value of $60,000 at the end of 10 years, which will be taxable, and no removal costs. No changes in
Required
- a. Calculate the removal costs of the existing equipment net of tax effects.
- b. Compute the depreciation tax shield.
- c. Compute the forgone tax benefits of the old equipment.
- d. Calculate the
cash inflow , net of taxes, from the sale of the new equipment in year 10. - e. Calculate the tax benefit arising from the loss on the old equipment.
- f. Compute the annual differential cash flows arising from the investment in years 1 through 10.
- g. Compute the net present value of the project.
a.
Compute the removal costs of the existing equipment net of tax effects.
Explanation of Solution
Net of tax:
Net of tax is the resultant amount that determines the final amount of the accounting period for the tax savings. The net of tax is determined by taking gross figures in the account.
Compute the equipment removal net of tax effects:
Thus, the value of equipment removal net of tax effects is $3,000.
b.
Compute the depreciation tax shield.
Explanation of Solution
Depreciation:
Depreciation is the method of calculating the value of the assets for the current accounting period. The value of any capital asset cannot be accounted for the total cost it has incurred in the period that it has been bought in. The value of the asset is distributed over different accounting periods according to the utility of the asset.
Compute the depreciation tax shield:
Year | Depreciation | Tax shield | PV factor | Present value |
1 | $40,000 | $16,000 | 0.862 | $13,792 |
2 | $70,000 | $28,000 | 0.743 | $20,804 |
3 | $30,000 | $12,000 | 0.641 | $7,692 |
4 | $30,000 | $12,000 | 0.552 | $6,624 |
5 | $30,000 | $12,000 | 0.476 | $5,712 |
Total | $200,000 | $80,000 | $54,624 |
Table: (1)
Thus, the PV of the depreciation schedule is $54,624.
c.
Compute the foregone tax benefits of the old equipment.
Explanation of Solution
Tax shield:
Tax shield refers to a reduction in taxable income. The reduction in taxable income is achieved by claiming the allowable deductions.
Compute the foregone tax benefits of the old equipment:
Thus, the value of foregone tax benefits is $4,000.
d.
Compute the cash inflow, net of taxes, from the sale of the new equipment in year 10.
Explanation of Solution
Gain:
Gain is the resultant value of the difference between revenue earned on sale and the cost of the same.
Compute gain from salvage of new equipment:
Thus, the value of gain from salvage of new equipment is $36,000.
e.
Compute the tax benefit arising from the loss on the old equipment.
Explanation of Solution
Tax shield:
Tax shield refers to a reduction in taxable income. The reduction in taxable income is achieved by claiming the allowable deductions.
Compute the tax benefit arising from a loss on old equipment:
Thus, the value of the tax benefit is $24,000.
f.
Compute the annual differential cash flows arising from the investment in years 1 through 10.
Explanation of Solution
Differential cash flow:
Differential cash flow is the difference between several options of businesses’ cash flows.
Compute the differential cash flows:
Thus, the value of differential cash flows is $19,800.
g.
Compute the net present value of the project.
Explanation of Solution
Net present value (NPV):
Net present value (NPV) is a type of intrinsic valuation analysis. NPV is the sum total of all the future cash flows (inflows/outflows) that will occur over the lifetime of a project discounted to the present.

The asset is to be used in a 4-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $128,169.

The machine costs $1,000,000 and are expected to save the company $175,000/y for the next 15 years. Guelph Inc. plans to sell the machine at the end of 15 years. The estimated salvage value of the machine at the end of its life is unknown, but Guelph Inc. suspects its depreciation will be similar to the CCA rate for the machine: 20%.
