Quick Computing installed its previous generation of computer chip manufacturing equipment 3 years ago. Some of that older equipment will become unnecessary when the company goes into production of its new product. The obsolete equipment, which originally cost $36.50 million, has been depreciated straight-line over an assumed tax life of 5 years, but it can be sold now for $17.30 million. The firm’s tax rate is 30%. What is the after-tax cash flow from the sale of the equipment?
Annual depreciation=(cost-salvage value)/useful life
=(36.5/5)=$7.3 million/year
Hence book value as on date of sale=cost- accumulated depreciation
=36.5-(7.3*3)
=$14.6 million
Hence gain on sale=(17.3-14.6)=$2.7 million
Hence after tax cash flow=sale proceeds-(tax rate*gain on sale)
=17.3-(2.7" 0.3) million
=$16.49 million.

When I assumed the leadership of Heinz’s Asia/Pacific business, in 1993, the company’s revenues from that part of the world were hardly a blip—and I’d never visited most of the countries in the region. I made my first trip there soon after I took the job, and it really opened...
