6. Holmes Inc. purchased computer equipment two years ago at a total cost of $1,000,000. These computers could be sold today for $300,000. If these computers are sold in five years, they will be worth $50,000. The CCA rate for these computers is 30%. The company is now considering whether it should replace these computers with newer and more powerful ones. The estimated total purchase cost of the new computers is $1.5 million. These computers can be sold for $300,000 in five years, and their CCA rate remains at 30%. The company expects to obtain before-tax cost savings of $300,000 per year from these new computers. The company’s marginal tax rate is 35%, and its required rate of return on new equipment is 15%. Should the company replace the computer equipment?

Q9.3. A machine that cost $120,000 three years ago can be sold now for $54,000. Its market value is expected to be $40,000 and $20,000 one year and two years from now, respectively. Its operating cost was $18,000 for the first 3 years of its life, but the M&O cost is expected to be $23,000 for the next 2 years.
