Calculate the annual depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, book value, and after tax salvage value associated with an asset given the following information:
Initial value of asset (including shipping and installation): $10 million
Useful life of the asset is 16 years (although the company plans to operate it for the project’s life of only ten years and then sell it). The company uses straight line depreciation for its depreciable assets.
Expected salvage value (market price) of the asset upon termination of project: $4.5 million.
Marginal tax rate: 25%
Calculation of annual depreciation, book value and accumlated depreciation at the end of the year
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Value at the beginning of the year | 10,000,000 | 9,375,000 | 8,750,000 | 8,125,000 | 7,500,000 | 6,875,000 | 6,250,000 | 5,625,000 | 5,000,000 | 4,375,000 |
Annual Depreciation at SLM (1000000/16) | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 | 625,000 |
Book Value at year end | 9,375,000 | 8,750,000 | 8,125,000 | 7,500,000 | 6,875,000 | 6,250,000 | 5,625,000 | 5,000,000 | 4,375,000 | 3,750,000 |
Accumulated Depreciation | 625,000 | 1,250,000 | 1,875,000 | 2,500,000 | 3,125,000 | 3,750,000 | 4,375,000 | 5,000,000 | 5,625,000 | 6,250,000 |
Salvage Value of the asset 4,500,000
Book Value at the end of 10th Year 3,750,000
Capital Gain 7,50,000
Tax on Capital Gain @ 25% = 187,500
After Tax Salvage Value of the asset = 4,500,000 - 187,500 = 4,312,500
