问题如下:
Company M purchased a $500,000 equipment with a 5-year useful life at the beginning of 2016, considering the salvage value is zero. The equipment was capitalized and depreciated on straight-line method. At the end of 2016, ending shareholders’ equity of company M is 15,000,000, the tax rate is 27%, net income is 900,000, no dividend is taken into account. All else equal, if the equipment were expensed rather than capitalized, company M's return on equity at the end of 2016 would be:
选项:
A.6.3%.
B.4.1%.
C.5.6%.
解释:
B is correct.
If the equipment were expensed rather than capitalized, company M’s net income and shareholders’ equity would be $292,000 lower than before: ($500,000-$500,000/5)× (1-27%) = $292,000
请问,这道题为什么是用 ($500,000-$500,000/5)× (1-27%) = $292,000?
我的理解是,用原先的$900,000的NI 倒推算出税前利润,然后用原先的税前利润减去每年的折旧($500,000/5),然后再乘税率算出新的NI,最后用新的NI/Equity 算出来新的ROE。 这样算法为什么会错呢?
