For specialized devices for use with its latest GPS / GIS system, Freeman Engineering charged $28,500. Using MACRS depreciation, the equipment was depreciated over a 3 year recovery period. After 2 years, the company sold the equipment for $5000 when it bought an improved system. (a) Assess the value of the recapture of depreciation or the capital loss involved in the asset sale. (b) What tax impact is that number going to have?

Easter Corporation will replace one of its assets with an updated model. The current asset was purchased two years ago at a cost of $70,000. It has been depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. The company can sell this existing asset for $30,000. The new asset is going to cost $80,000 and will also be depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period.

Justyne needs assistance with the information shown below. The defender can be replaced now or kept for 4 more years. (Notes: All monetary values are in $1000 units. Assume that either asset is salvaged in the future at its original salvage estimate. Since no revenues are estimated, all taxes are negative and considered “savings” to the alternative. Neglect any capital gains or losses.) a. Perform a PW-based replacement study using an after-tax MARR = 12% per year and Te = 35%. Do this using hand calculations.b. Verify your results using a spreadsheet-based replacement study.
6) A company is considering purchasing a new automated machine that is expected to generate an additional income of $125,000 annually. The equipment will have an initial cost of $187,500 and estimated annual operating and maintenance costs of $50,000. Its estimated salvage value at the end of its useful life of 4 years will be $37,500. The equipment is a MACRS-GDS 3-year property for calculating depreciation deductions. The effective tax rate is 35%. For this new machine, determine the after-tax cash flow for each year of operation. (Round off values to the nearest dollar) ΕΟΥ BTCF a) 0 1 2 3 4 MACRS-GDS Deduction Taxable Income Tax ATCF b) (8 points) If the after-tax MARR is 10% per year compounded annually, compute the PW of the after-tax cash flows. Based on this PW, would you recommend the purchase of this new equipment?
