Winston, Inc., is computing the net advantage to leasing for a new food processing machine. How should the estimated $46,000 of salvage value be handled? The lease is for four years, the tax rate is 35 percent, and the aftertax discount rate is 5.2 percent.
To determine: How should the salvage value be handled.
Introduction:
Salvage value: It is the estimated resale value of an asset at the end of useful life. It is computed by deducting the expenditure of the fixed asset to find the asset amount that will be depreciated.
Answer to Problem 27.4CTF
The salvage value can be handled by obtaining after tax salvage value of $29,900 at the end of four years.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the after tax salvage value:
The estimated salvage value is $46,000, tax rate is 35%, and after tax discount rate is 5.2%.
Therefore, the after tax salvage value is $29,900.

- Pulaski Starlight Inc. is evaluating a project. The project is expected to generated new sales of $1,718,798 and incur costs of $606,990 annually. The project will be depreciated using the MACRS approach. The equipment needed for the project will cost $4,495,137 and is considered to be a five year MACRS class. The company's tax rate is 28%. Given this information, what would be the project's third year operating cash flow? Answer in dollars and cents.arrow_forwardNext Corporation needs a piece of equipment that costs $270 million. Next can either lease the equipment or borrow $270 million from a local bank and buy the equipment. If the equipment is leased, the lease would not have to be capitalized. Assume that Next’s tax rate is 35% and that the equipment’s depreciation would be $90 million per year. If the company leased the asset on a 3-year lease, the payment would be $105 million at the beginning of each year. If Next borrowed and bought, the bank would charge 12% interest on the loan. In either case, the equipment is worth nothing after 3 years and will be discarded. Should Next lease or buy the equipment?

- Hull Manufacturing Co. must decide whether to purchase or lease a new piece of equipment. The equipment can be leased for $4,000 a year or purchased for $15,000. The lease includes maintenance and service. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of five years is $5,000. If the equipment is owned, service and maintenance charges (a tax-deductible cost) would be $900 a year. The firm can borrow the entire amount at a rate of 15% if they buy. The tax rate is 50%.
