On January 1, Year 1, Webb Construction Company overhauled four
cranes, resulting in a slight increase in the life of the cranes.
Such overhauls occur regularly at two-year intervals and have been
treated as a maintenance expense in the past. Management is
considering whether to capitalize this year’s $28,420 cash cost in
the Cranes asset account or to expense it as a maintenance expense.
Assume that the cranes have a remaining useful life of two years
and no expected salvage value. Assume straight-line
depreciation.
Required
a. Determine the amount of additional depreciation
expense Webb would recognize in Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were
capitalized in the Cranes account.
b. Determine the amount of expense Webb would
recognize in Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost were recognized as
maintenance expense.
c. Determine the effect of the overhaul on cash
flow from operating activities for Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost
were capitalized and expensed through depreciation charges.
d. Determine the effect of the overhaul on cash
flow from operating activities for Year 1 and Year 2 if the cost
were recognized as maintenance expense.

Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $318,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,710,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $105,000 per year until it reaches $1,185,000, where it will remain. |

Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and
the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by a MBA student.
The production line would be set up in unused space (Market Value
Zero) in Sugar Land’ main plant. Total cost of the machine is
$350,000. The machinery has an economic life of 4 years and will be
depreciated using MACRS for 3-year property class. The machine will
have a salvage value of $35,000 after 4 years.
The new line will generate Sales of 1,750 units per year for 4
years and the variable cost per unit is $110 in the first year.
Each unit can be sold for $210 in the first year. The sales price
and variable cost are expected to increase by 3% per year due to
inflation. Further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working
capital would have to increase by $30,000 at time zero (No change
in NWC in years 1 through 3 and the NWC will be recouped in year
4). The firm’s tax rate is 40% and its weighted average cost of
capital is 11%.
