Ronnie's Custom Cars purchased some fixed assets two years ago for $35,000. The assets are classified as 5-year property for MACRS. Ronnie is considering selling these assets now so he can buy some newer fixed assets which utilize the latest in technology. Ronnie has been offered $19,500 for his old assets. What is the net cash flow from the salvage value if the tax rate is 34 percent?

$18,582.00

$16,297.20

Dependable Motors just purchased some MACRS 5-year property at a cost of $216,000. The MACRS rates are .2, .32, and .192 for years 1 to 3, respectively. Which one of the following will correctly give you the book value of this equipment at the end of year 2?

$216,000 / [(1 + .20)(1 + .32)]

4.

Consider an asset that costs $595,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its seven-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a five-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $180,000. If the relevant tax rate is 34 percent, what is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Use the table below to answer this question.

Explanation / Answer

1)

Book value at the end of year 2 = $35,000 (1- 0.2 -0.32) = $16800

Tax on sale = ($19,500- $16,800)X .34 = $918

After-tax cash flow = $16800- $918 = $18582

3)$216,000 ×(1 - .2 - .32)

This is because 1st year as per the table we reduce the book value by 20% and in the 2nd year we further reduce by 32%

4)

Per year depriciation by straigt line method = 595000/7 = 85000

Book value at the end of year 5 = 170,000

Tax on sale = ($180,000- $ 170,000)X .34 = $3400

After-tax cash flow = $180,000- $3,400 = =176,600

5)

The $6 million acquisition cost of the land six years ago is a sunk cost. The $9.8 million current after-tax value of the land is an opportunity cost if the land is used rather than sold off. The $13.2 million cash outlay and $1,274,000 grading expenses are the initial fixed asset investments needed to get the project going. Therefore, the proper year zero cash flow to use in evaluating this project is $9,800,000 + 13,200,000 + 1,274,000 = $24,274,000
