Question
Vernon-Nelson Chemicals is planning to release a new brand of insecticide, Bee-Safe, that will kill many insect pests but not harm useful pollinators. Buying new equipment to manufacture the product will cost $20 million and there will be an additional $2million cost to reconfigure the plant. The equipment is expected to have a lifetime of eight years and will be depreciated by the straight-line method over its lifetime. The firm expects that they should be able to sell 1,500,000 gallons per year at a price of $52 per gallon. It will take $38 per gallon to manufacture and support the product. If Vernon-Nelson's marginal tax rate is 40%, what are the incremental earnings in year 3 of this project?
Show your steps please!
Explanation / Answer
Depreciation = (20)/8 = 2.5million
incremental earnings in year 3 = (reveune -cost -Depreciation )*(1-40%) + Depreciation = (1,500,000*52 -1,500,000*38 - 2500000)*(1-40%) =$11100000
