Quip Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $300,000. Management predicts that the machine will produce sales of $200,000 each year for the next 5 years. Expenses are expected to include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead (excluding depreciation) totaling $80,000 per year. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with an assumed residual (salvage) value of $50,000. Quip's combined income tax rate, t, is 40%.What is the expected net income (after tax) in Year 3 if the proposed investment is undertaken? Round answer to nearest whole dollar.

What will be an ideal response?

$42,000

1. Pre-tax income = Sales ? depreciation expense ? cash expenses = $200,000 ? $50,000 ? $80,000 = $70,000

2. After-tax income (rounded to nearest whole dollar) = Pre-tax income × (1 ? t) = $70,000 × (1 ? 0.40) = $42,000
