One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $115,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and that you can purchase it for $160,000 today. The CCA rate applicable to both machines is 40%; neither machine will have any long-term salvage value.
You expect that the new machine will produce earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $45,000 per year for the next 10 years. The
current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $22,000 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current
machine is $50,000. Your company's tax rate is 45%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 12%. Should your company replace its year-old
machine?
What is the NPV of replacement?

c - they will have the same distribution

step-by-step explanation:

this is the only one that could make sense. : )

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
