Depreciation expense = (Original cost – Salvage value) / Useful life
= ($280,000 – $0) / 4 years = $70,000 per year
Trammel Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require
investing $280,000 in equipment with an expected life of 4 years and zero salvage
value. Annual incremental sales would be $650,000 and annual incremental cash
operating expenses would be $450,000. The project would also require a one-time
renovation cost of $100,000 in year 3. The company’s income tax rate is 30% and its
after-tax discount rate is 7%. 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.
