AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between the two images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design engineers.

a. You have been asked by management to determine the PW of the EVA of this equipment, assuming the following estimates: capital investment=$337,000; market value at end of year six=$123,000; annual revenues=$110,000; annual expenses=$8,000; equipment life=6 years; effective income tax rate=24%;

and after-tax MARR=8% per year. MACRS depreciation will be used with a five-year recovery period.

b. Compute the PW of the equipment's ATCFs

Amanufacturer of aerospace products purchased two flexible assembly cells for $490,000 each. Delivery and insurance charges were $31,000, and installation of the cells cost another $51,000. a. Determine the cost basis of the two cells. b. What is the class life of the cells? c. What is the MACRS depreciation in year four? d. If the cells are sold to another company for $110,000 each at the end of year six, how much is the recaptured depreciation?
