You have asked a question with 8 sub parts. I have addressed the first four sub parts. Please post the balance sub parts as a separate question.
(a) Annual depreciation = Cost / useful life = 13.5 / 5 = $ 2.700 million
(b) Annual depreciation tax shield = annual depreciation x tax rate = 2.7 x 21% = $ 0.567 million
(c) Please see the table below:
Cost | C | 13.5 | |
Year | Depreciation rate | Depreciation ($ mn) | Depreciation Tax shield ($ mn) |
d | D = d x C | D x 21% | |
1 | 20.00% | 2.700 | 0.567 |
2 | 32.00% | 4.320 | 0.907 |
3 | 19.20% | 2.592 | 0.544 |
4 | 11.52% | 1.555 | 0.327 |
5 | 11.52% | 1.555 | 0.327 |
(d) 5 years MACRS depreciation schedule enables higher depreciation in the earlier years resulting into higher depreciation tax shield in earlier years. If tax rate is constant, higher tax shield will result into relatively higher NPV for the machine. Hence, Markov should choose 5 years MACRS depreciation schedule.
