SM Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $435,000 is estimated to result in $164,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press is eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $65,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $17,000, along with an additional $4,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop’s tax rate is 25 percent and its discount rate is 12 percent.

Calculation of depreciation based on MACRS    

Year      

1 435000×0.20=$87,000    

2 435000×0.32 =$139,200    

3 435000×0.1920=$83,520    

4 435000×0.1152=$50,112

Calculation of aftertax salvage value      

Sale proceeds                             $65,000    

Less: Book value of machine     $75,168

(435000-359,832)  

Loss on sale of machine             -$10,168    

Tax benefit 25%                            $2,542    

After tax salvage value              $67,542

($65,000+$2,542)
