A company is considering a 5-year project to expand production
with the purchase of a new automated machine using the latest
technology. The new machine would cost $200,000 FOB St. Louis, with
a shipping cost of $8,000 to the plant location. Installation
expenses of $15,000 would also be required. This new machine would
be classified as 7-year property for MACRS depreciation purposes.
The project engineers anticipate that this equipment could be sold
for salvage for $44,000 at the end of the project. If the corporate
tax rate is 28%, what is the after tax salvage cash flow for this
new machine at the end of the project? (Answer to the nearest
dollar.)
MACRS percentages for depreciation each year are as
follows:
Year % 1 14.29 2 24.49 3 17.49 4 12.49 5 8.93 6 8.93 7 8.93 8 4.45
