Answer:

8.60%

Explanation:

We use the MM proposition II with taxes

r_e = r_a + \frac{D}{E} (r_a-r_d)(1-t)

ra 0.125

D 5000

E 9600 (14,600 assets = 5,000 liab + equity)

rd ??

taxes 0.34

re 0.1384

We set p the formula and solve:

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 - 0.125 = 0.34375 (.125-r_d)

0.0134 = 0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.34375\times r_d

r_d = (0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.0134)\div 0.34375

rd = 0.860181818 = 8.60%

algol [13]

Answer:

$57,000

Explanation:

<u><em>Step 1 : Depreciation Rate</em></u>

Depreciation Rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Production

therefore,

Depreciation Rate = $14.00 per machine hour

<u><em>Step 2 : Depreciation expenses</em></u>

Depreciation expense = Depreciation Rate x Annual production

therefore

Year 1 = $42,000

Year 2 = $56,000

Year 3 = $70,000

Total    = $168,000

<em><u>Step 3 : Book Value</u></em>

Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

                    = $225,000 - $168,000

                    = $57,000

Conclusion :

book value at the end of year 3 is $57,000
