Depreciation expense = (Original cost - Salvage value) / Useful life
= ($80,000 - $0) / 4 years = $20,000 per year
Kostka Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require
investing $160,000 in equipment with an expected life of 4 years and zero salvage
value. Annual incremental sales would be $480,000 and annual incremental cash
operating expenses would be $330,000. The project would also require an immediate
investment in working capital of $20,000 which would be released for use elsewhere at
the end of the project. The project would also require a one-time renovation cost of $0
in year 3. The company's income tax rate is 30% and its after-tax discount rate is 9%.
The company uses straight-line depreciation. Assume cash flows occur at the end of the
year except for the initial investments. The company takes income taxes into account in
its capital budgeting.

cost pools as follows: Machining, $20,800; Order Filling, $30,400; and Other, $48,800.

constrained resource to satisfy demand for the two existing products?
A.$33.60 per minute

Production of product J45Z would be 3,230 minutes / 19 minutes per unit of J45Z = 170
units of J45Z.
This leaves unsatisfied demand for product J45Z. Consequently, the company should be
willing to pay up to $3.00 per minute for more of the constrained resource.
