    Dear Sir,
    I have faced the following example:
    Machine cost 20,000$ , useful life 5 yrs and trade-in value 4000$ at the end of the fifth year.
    Company could decide to purchase the machine using a loan current rate of interest 13% before tax.
    The rate of tax is 30%. If the machine is purchased the company will be able to claim a tax allowable depreciation of 100% in the year 1. Tax is payable with an year’s delay.

    Cash flows are discounted at the after tax cost of borrowing so: 13%* (1-0.3)= 9%
    Just focusing on purchasing the machine what I did is the following:

    Year Cost Discount factor 9% PV
    0 20000 1 (20000)
    2 6000 0.842 5052 (tax saving, time2 because of tax payable in arrear)
    5 4000 0.650 2600 (PV of scrap value at year 5)
    NPV= (12348)

    However, what should be is the same as above plus this:
    Year Bal. Charge Disc. 9% PV
    6 4000*30%= (1200) 0.596 (715)

    So the NPV is: (12348)+(715)= 13063

    Can you please explain me this last calculation? I think that it is related to the tax paid a year’delay but I do not catch the meaning of that. Can you kindly provide me with an explanation of that for a better understanding?
    Thanks a lot!
    Fede
