Depreciation by Two Methods; Sale of Fixed Asset

New tire retreading equipment, acquired at a cost of $812,500 on September 1 at the beginning of a fiscal year, has an estimated useful life of five years and an estimated residual value of $69,900. The manager requested information regarding the effect of alternative methods on the amount of depreciation expense each year. On the basis of the data presented to the manager, the double-declining-balance method was selected.

In the first week of the fifth year, on September 6, the equipment was sold for $119,000.

Required:

1. Determine the annual depreciation expense for each of the estimated four years of use, the accumulated depreciation at the end of each year, and the book value of the equipment at the end of each year by the following methods:

XYZ, Inc. is considering a 5-year project. The production will require $1,500,000 in net working capital to start and addition net working capital investments each year equal to 15% of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $1,350,000 per year, variable production costs are $225 per unit, and the units are priced at $345 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an intalled cost of $23,000,000. The equipment is qualified as seven-year MACRS property. MACRS stands for Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, where businesses apply MACRS rates to the capital expenditure for annual depreciation amount. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about $4,600,000. The company is in the 35% marginal tax bracket and has a required rate of return on all its projects of 18%.

Sugar Land 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%.
