Q:
Your company is considering the replacement of an old delivery van with a new one that is more efficient. The old van cost $40,000 when it was purchased 5 years ago. The old van is being depreciated using the simplified straight-line method over a useful life of 8 years. The old van could be sold today for $7,000. The new van has an invoice price of $80,000, and it will cost $6,000 to modify the van to carry the company's products. Cost savings from use of the new van are expected to be $28,000 per year for 5 years, at which time the van will be sold for its estimated salvage value of $18,000. The new van will be depreciated using the simplified straight-line method over its 5-year useful life. The company's tax rate is 35%. Working capital is expected to increase by $5,000 at the inception of the project, but this amount will be recaptured at the end of year five. What is the tax effect of selling the old machine?
A) a savings of $2,800
B) a savings of $2,450
C) additional taxes paid of $2,450

Q:
You are analyzing the purchase of new equipment. Since you are not an expert on this type of equipment, you hire a consulting firm to make recommendations. The consultant charged you $1,500 and recommended the purchase of the latest model from ACME Corp. of America. The equipment costs $80,000, and it will cost another $10,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over six years with no salvage value. You expect the equipment will be sold after three years for $28,000. Use of the equipment will require an increase in your company's net working capital of $4,000, but this $4,000 will be recovered at the end of year three. The use of the equipment will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $50,000 per year in before-tax operating costs. Your company's marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the initial outlay required to fund this project?
A) $80,000
