Suppose that you are able to generate an annual depreciation deduction of $34,000 that would otherwise have been taxed at a 30% rate each year for five years. Determine the present value of the annual tax savings using a 7.5% discount rate.
Annual Depriciation = $ 34000
Tax Savings on depreciation = 34000 * 0.30 = $ 10200 for 5 years.
Discount Rate = 7.5 %
Present Value of Tax Savings on depreciation = 10200 * PVAF ( 7.5 %, 5)
= 10200 * 4.0457
= 41266.14
Breakup of Present Value of Tax Savings on depreciation
Present Value of Tax Savings on depreciation for Year 1 = 10200 * 0.9302 =9488.04
Present Value of Tax Savings on depreciation for Year 2 = 10200 * 0.8653 =8826.06
Present Value of Tax Savings on depreciation for Year 3 = 10200 * 0.8049 =8209.98
Present Value of Tax Savings on depreciation for Year 4 = 10200 * 0.7488 =7637.76
Present Value of Tax Savings on depreciation for Year 5 = 10200 * 0.6965 =7104.30
