You are considering the proposed acquisition of a truck for the
firm. The truck has a
base price of Tk. 300,000 and it will take another Tk.50,000 to
modify it for the
intended use. The truck has a life of 5 years and after that period
it can be sold for Tk.
100,000. The use of truck will require an increase in the net
operating working capital
of Tk. 10,000. The truck will reduce cost by Tk. 55,000 in before
tax operating cost
and revenue. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40%. If the project’s
cost of capital is
12%, should the truck be purchased? The truck falls in MACRS 5-year
class. The
applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 12% and
5%.
After tax salvage Value = Sale value - (sale Value - Book Value of truck)* Tax rate
After tax salvage Value = 100000 - (100000 - 350000*5%)* 40%
After tax salvage Value = $67000
