A company has new equipment costs of $2 million, which will be depreciated to zero using straight-line depreciation over 7 years. The company expects to bring in revenues of $6 million per year for 7 years with production costs of $1.6 million per year. If the company's tax rate is 44%, what are the incremental earnings (not cash flows) of this project in years 1-7? Enter your answer in dollars and round to the nearest dollar.
Cost of new equipments = $ 2,000,000
Depreciated to zero with depreciable life using straight-line depreciation = 7 years
Deprecaition amount per year = Cost of new equipments/Depreciable life
= $2,000,000/7
= $ 285,714
Calculating the incremental earnings of this project in year 1-7:
Partcular | Amount in $ |
Incremental Revenue | 6,000,000 |
Incremental Production Cost | (1,600,000) |
Deprecaitopn of new Equipment | (285,714) |
Incremental Income before Tax | 4114,286 |
Less: Tax @44% | (1810,286) |
Incremental Earnings | 2,304,000 |
So, the incremental earnings of this project in year 1-7 is $ 2304,000
