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.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
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.

Cost of this maintenance is expected to be BD 15,000 each year. a) What is the discounted payback period, if the MARR is 8% per year? b) In your engineering analysis study, which method would you select (Payback or Present worth) to solve this problem? And why?arrow_forwardACDC Company is considering the installation of a new machine that costs $150,000. The machine is expected to lead to net income of $44,000 per year for the next 5 years. Using straight-line depreciation, $0 salvage value, and an effective income tax rate of 28%, determine the after-tax rate of return for this investment.

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? (solve in excel)arrow_forward
