If the after tax interest is 10%, what is the after tax present worth of machinery that has a first cost of $66,000 and annual savings of $7,700? The machinery is sold for $1100 salvage value at the end of a seven year life. The corporate tax rate is 59%.
Cost of Machine = $66,000
Salvage Value = $1100
Life of Asset = 7 years
Assume Depreciation as per straight line method
Dep per year = ( $66,000 - $7,000 ) / 7 = $9271.43
After tax present worth of Machine = $23,435
