Question

Daily Enterprises is purchasing a $9.5 milion machine. It will cost $48,000 to transport and install the machine. The machine has a depreciable life of five years and will have no savage value. The machine will generate incremental revenues of $3.9 million per year along with incremental costs of $1.4 million per year. If Daily's marginal tax rate is 35%, what are the incremental earnings (net income) associated with the new machine? The annual incremental earnings are (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Explanation / Answer

The annual incremental earnings associated with the new machine

= (Incremental Revenue - Incremental cost) * (1-Tax rate)

Where,

Incremental Revenue = $3.9 million per year

Incremental costs = $1.4 million per year

And Marginal Tax rate of the company = 35%

Therefore

The annual incremental earnings = ($3.9 million -$1.4 million) * (1 - 0.35)

=$2.5 million * 0.65

= $1.625 million per year

The annual incremental earnings associated with the new machine is $1.625 million per year
