The fair value of the costs of this asset retirement project is $850,000. The present value of these asset retirement costs is $265,000 based on the 6% after-tax discount rate. Under U.S. GAAP, what is the initial capitalized carrying value of the oil rig at the completion of construction? Group of answer choices $270,000 $4,235,000 $4,765,000 $4,500,000

A construction company is considering acquiring a new earthmover. The purchase price is $105,000, and an additional $28,000 is required to modify the equipment for special use by the company. The equipment falls into the MACRS seven-year classification (the tax life), and it will be sold after five years (the project life) for $55,000. The purchase of the earthmover will have no effect on revenues, but the machine is expected to save the firm $70,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 21%. Assume that the initial investment is to be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 6% payable annually. Determine the after-tax cash flows by using the generalized cash flow approach and the worth of the investment for this project if the firm's MARR is known to be 11%.
On December 1, 2021, HP Corp. is contemplating to invest into a new equipment costing P2,500,000 plus an installation cost of P200,000 to replace its old equipment that has a book value of P400,000 and a remaining useful life of 4 years. The estimated useful life of the new equipment is 4 years and has a salvage value of P500,000. If the company will favor the replacement decisions, the old equipment can be sold for P150,000 but additional working capital investment must be made amounting to P400,000. However, the company must incur a repair cost of P180,000 to continuously use the old equipment. The annual cash operating costs of the old equipment is P4,000,000 while the annual cash operating cost of the new equipment is P2,400,00. At the end of the useful life, cost to remove the new equipment will amount to P100,000. The company uses a tax rate of 35%, requires a payback period is 2.5 years or less, and accepts a minimum accounting rate of return is 15%. Compute for the net…

A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $765,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes (MACRS schedule). The required initial net working capital investment is $67,000, the tax rate is 21 percent, and the project discount rate is 9 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $103,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
