Expert Solution

Answer is D: $243,885 (difference between this amount and caln below is due to rounding off difference

Given
Asset Value	930000.00
Salvage Value	0
Depreciable Life (Years)	5
Depn Rate	20%
Tax Rate	34%
Discount Rate (Cost of Capital to Company for Borrowing)	7%
We need to find the PV of the Tax Shield we get on Depreciation

Tax Shield on Depn = (Depn Amount p.a. * Tax Rate)
Pv of Tax Shield on Depn = Tax Shield on Depn / [(1 + Discount Rate)^N]

Annual Depn [(930,000-0)/5]	186000
Annual Tax Shield on Depn (186000*34%)	63240

Every year we save 63,240 due to Depn, now we need to discount it back for 5 years

Please note, that Depn Exp in the first year results in a tax shield in the following year. So we start taking Tax shield from Year 2:

Year	1	2	3	4	5	6
PVF @ 7%	0.9346	0.8734	0.8163	0.7629	0.7130	0.6663
Tax Shield	63240	63240	63240	63240	63240	63240
PV of Tax Shield	-	55,236	51,623	48,245	45,089	42,139

Total PV of Tax Shield

$242,333
