Introduction

Understanding depreciation and corporate income taxes is essential in engineering economics, as they significantly impact the evaluation of engineering projects. Depreciation affects the book value of assets over time, while corporate income taxes influence the net cash flows of projects.


Key Topics Covered

1. Concept and Terminology of Depreciation

  • Depreciation: The systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life.

  • Book Value: The value of an asset after accounting for depreciation.

  • Salvage Value: The estimated residual value of an asset at the end of its useful life.

2. Basic Methods of Depreciation

  • Straight Line Method (SL): Allocates equal depreciation expense each year.

  • Declining Balance Method (DB): Applies a constant depreciation rate to the reducing book value.

  • Sinking Fund Method (SFM): Sets aside funds annually to accumulate the asset's cost over its life.

  • Sum of the Years' Digits Method (SYD): Accelerates depreciation by applying a decreasing fraction each year.

  • Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS): A tax depreciation system in the U.S. that allows for accelerated depreciation.

3. Introduction to Corporate Income Tax

  • Corporate income tax is levied on a company's taxable income. Understanding its implications is crucial for accurate project evaluation.

4. After-Tax Cash Flow Estimate

  • Calculating after-tax cash flows involves adjusting the project's cash inflows and outflows to account for tax liabilities, providing a more accurate picture of profitability.

5. General Procedure for Making After-Tax Economic Analysis

  • Estimate revenues and expenses.

  • Calculate taxable income.

  • Determine tax liabilities.

  • Compute after-tax cash flows.

  • Evaluate the project's economic viability using after-tax figures.


Numerical Problems

To reinforce understanding, consider the following problems:

Problem 1: Straight Line Method of Depreciation

  • Scenario: A machine was purchased for $100,000 with a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $10,000.

  • Task: Calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method.

Problem 2: Declining Balance Method of Depreciation

  • Scenario: A machine costing $120,000 has a useful life of 8 years and a salvage value of $10,000. The depreciation rate is 25%.

  • Task: Calculate the depreciation for the first year using the declining balance method.

Problem 3: Sinking Fund Method

  • Scenario: An equipment costing $150,000 is to be replaced after 6 years. The annual sinking fund deposit is $15,000.

  • Task: Calculate the annual depreciation using the sinking fund method.

Problem 4: After-Tax Cash Flow

  • Scenario: A project requires an initial investment of $50,000 and generates annual cash flows of $15,000 for 5 years. The corporate tax rate is 30%.

  • Task: Calculate the after-tax cash flows for each year.

📌 Numerical Problems for Chapter 7

 To reinforce your understanding of key concepts, here are some numerical problems related to the topics covered in this chapter:


Problem 1: Straight Line Method of Depreciation

Question: A machine was purchased for $100,000 and has a useful life of 10 years. The estimated salvage value at the end of its life is $10,000. Using the straight-line method, calculate the annual depreciation.

Problem 2: Declining Balance Method of Depreciation

Question: A machine was purchased for $120,000 with an expected useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of $10,000. If the depreciation rate is 25%, calculate the depreciation for the first year using the declining balance method.

Problem 3: Sinking Fund Method

Question: A company purchased an equipment for $150,000 with a useful life of 6 years. The company expects to replace the equipment after 6 years. If the annual sinking fund deposit is $15,000, calculate the annual depreciation using the sinking fund method.

Problem 4: After-Tax Cash Flow

Question: A project has an initial investment of $50,000. It generates annual cash flows of $15,000 for 5 years. The corporate income tax rate is 30%. Calculate the after-tax cash flow for the first year.
