问题如下:
Ted Ltd. recently purchased a manufactoring machine for $60,000, which is expected to generate annual cash inflow of $25,000 for six years. The firm will depreciate the machine over six years for accounting purpose. However, the tax authority estimates the machine's useful life of 5 years. Assume tax rate is 40%, and the machines has no salvage value. What is the income tax expense of Ted Ltd. in year 6 if straight-line method is used?
选项:
A. $10,000.
B. $5,200.
C. $6,000.
解释:
C
Tax rate is 40%. Pretax income is $15,000, as calculated before. Income tax expense= Pretax income*tax rate=$15,000*40%=$6,000.
但是按照6年折旧算税务局是不认可的不是么?因为税务局认为只有5年使用期。其他人的提问这一点都没有回答。如果这样的话,不就是公司说折旧几年就折旧几年了么?
