An injection molding machine can be purchased and installed for $90,000. It is expected to be kept in service for eight years It is believed that $10,000 can be obtained when the machine is disposed of the at the end of year eight. The net annual value added that can be attributed to this machine is constant over eight years and amounts to $15,000. An effective income tax-rate of 40% is used by the company, and the before-tax MARR equals 25% per year. Use 150% Declining Balance depreciation method Answer the following questions based on above given information M What are the depreciation amounts in year one and year eight? 3 What are the BTCF, TI, T and ATCF of year 8?

Explanation / Answer

Part 1)

We will have to calculate the annual depreciation rate with the use of 150% declining balance method. To calculate the rate we use the following formula :

Annual Depreciation Rate = 1.5/8 (Double Declining Rate/Years) = 18.75%

Annual Depreciation = Book Value of the Machine at Year End*Depreciation Rate

____________

Complete Depreciation Schedule:

Depreciation is calculated on the book value at the end of each year. Book value is the difference between the cost of machine and accumulated depreciation upto the relevant year. For Instance, for first year depreciation would be on the cost of 90,000 at the rate of 18.75% = $16,875. For second year the depreciation will be calculated on the book value at the end of first year (90,000 - 16,875 = 73,125) at the rate of 18.75% = $13,711 and so on.

Answer is $16,875 and $3,945 (which is Option C)
