Exercise 12-29 Value of Accelerated Depreciation: Sum-of-Years'-Digits (SYD) and Double Declining. Balance (DDB) Methods (LO 12-3) Freedom Corporation acquired a fixed asset for $100,000. Its estimated life at time of purchase was 4 years, with no estimated salvage value. Assume a discount rate of 8% and an income tax rate of 40%. (Use Exhibit 124. Appendix C. TABLE 1 and Appendix C. TABLE 2) Required: 1. What is the incremental present value of the tax benefits resulting from calculating depreciation using the sum-of-the-years- digits (SYD) method rather than the straight line (SLN) method on this asset? Use the SYD and SUN functions in Excel to calculate depreciation charges 2. What is the incremental present value of the tax benefits resulting from calculating depreciation using the double declining balance (DDB) method rather than the straight-line (SLN) method on this asset? Use the SLN and DDB functions in Excel to calculate depreciation charges 3. What is the incremental present value of the tax benefits resulting from using MACRS rather than straight-line (SLN) depreciation? The asset qualifies as a 3 year asset. Use the half year convention Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 What is the incremental present value of the tax benefits resulting from calculating depreciation using the sum-of-the-years- digits (SYD) method rather than the straight-line (SLN) method on this asset? Use the SYD and SLN functions in Excel to calculate depreciation charges. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
