ANS: Currency in $

(a) The following figures are used in capital budgeting analysis are :-

  • cost to purchase machine = 40,000
  • cost to install machine = 1,000
  • cost of new electric wiring = 2,000
  • first year depreciation of machine = 4,000
  • sales tax on purchasing machine = 3,000
  • economic salvage value of the machine = 10,000

(b) Figures used in Capital Budgeting analysis as the investment at year 0 are-

  • cost to purchase machine = 40,000
  • cost to install machine = 1,000
  • cost of new electric wiring = 2,000

Since the above cost are to be capitalised & are incurred at year 0.

(c) Figures not used in Capital Budgeting analysis are -

  • accounting salvage value of the machine = 8,000

(d) Yes, Item mentioned in part (c) may have later impact on firm's cash flow.

Reasons -

Economic salvage value is the estimated resale value of the assets at the end of its useful life. Whereas Accounting Salvage value is the estimated book value of the assets after depreciation is complete. If a company sells an assets with a salvage value higher than its book value then the company has to pay taxes on account of future profit.
