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 pretax income of Ted Ltd. in year 6 if straight-line method is used?
选项:
A.$25,000.
B.$13,000.
C.$15,000.
解释:
C
For accounting purpose, the estimated useful life is 6 years. Therefore, the annual depreciation expense is ($60,000-0)/6=$10,000.
Pretax income=$25,000-$10,000=$15,000.
我有点搞不清楚,公司折旧6年,税务局又是5年,在什么情况下使用这两个不同的折旧年限?
