Tech Engineering Company is considering the purchase of a new machine to replace an existing one. The current market value of the old machine is $14,000 and its book value is $5,000. The new machine's cost is $30,000. If the firm's marginal tax rate is 40%, the initial investment outlay for the new machine is .

$19,600

Explanation:

The computation of the initial investment outlay is shown below:

For computing the initial investment outlay, first we have to calculate the after tax old machine cost that is shown below:

After tax old machine cost = Current Market value of old machine - {(Current Market value of old machine - book value) × tax rate}

= ($14,000 - {($14,000 - $5,000) × 40%}

= ($14,000 - $3,600)

= $10,400

Now the initial investment outlay for the new machine is

= New machine cost - After tax old machine cost

= $30,000 - $10,400

= $19,600

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
