Explanation / Answer

1)

2)

NPV =Present value -initial cost

      = 607109.21-249850

     = 357259.21

Yes,since NPV is positive ,its a good investment

3)Depreciaion for year6 till september = 22286.62*8/12= 14857.75

Total depreciation till year6 september = 35703.57+61188.27+43698.77+31206.27+22311.61+14857.75=208966.24

Book value = 249850-208966.24 = 40883.76

Gain on sale = 45000-40883.76 = 4116.24

Tax on gain = 4116.24*.35 = 1440.68

year Depreciation [cost *MACRS rate] 1 249850* .1429=35703.57 2 249850*.244961188.27 3 249850*.1749= 43698.77 4 249850*.1249= 31206.27 5 249850*.0893= 22311.61 6 249850*.089=22286.62 7 2498509*.0893=22311.61 8 249850*.0446= 11143.31
