An agricultural corporation that paid 53% in income tax wanted to build a grain elevator designed to last twenty-five (25) years at a cost of $80,000 with no salvage value. Annual income generated would be $22,500 and annual expenditures were to be $12,000.

Answer the question using a straight line depreciation and a 10% interest rate.

The following question requires your selection of CCC/CCE Scenario 17 (4.2.50.1.1) from the right side of your split screen, using the drop down menu, to reference during your response/choice of responses.

Annual estimated tax would be:

Suggested Answer: A

To calculate the taxable income:

Annual income: $22,500

Annual expenditures: $12,000

Depreciation: $3,200

Taxable Income: 22,50012,0003,200=7,30022,500 - 12,000 - 3,200 = 7,30022,50012,0003,200=7,300

Tax Rate: 53%

Estimated Annual Tax: 7,3000.53=3,8697,300 times 0.53 = 3,8697,3000.53=3,869

I’m torn between C and D. What do you think, Talia?

True, but I still lean towards option C.
TA

But don’t forget the interest rate! That affects the total.

I think option C could be the answer then.

Right! After tax, that’s where we find the annual tax amount.
TA

If income is $22,500 and expenses are $12,000, profit is $10,500.
PH
Phillip 3 months ago
That makes sense. Then we factor in taxes on income.
RO
Roosevelt 3 months ago
I calculated the depreciation at $3,200 per year.

I feel like option B is too high. Maybe A is right?

Yeah, straight-line depreciation can be confusing.

I believe the straight-line depreciation will help us find the annual deduction, but I’m not confident about the final tax amount.
JU

I’m a bit confused about how to factor in the interest rate with the depreciation. Did we cover that in class?
BR
Brendan 7 months ago
I think we need to find the taxable income first, then apply the tax rate. I practiced a question like this last week!

I remember we calculated tax impacts on similar projects, but I’m unsure about the exact depreciation method here.
