“Investment, Financing and Dividend decisions are all
interrelated.” Comment. 4
X Ltd. has a machine having an additional life of
5 ‘years which costs Rs. 10,00,000 and has a book
value of Rs. 4,00,000. A new machine costing Rs.
20,00,000 is available. Though its capacity is the same
as that of the old machine, it will mean a saving in
variable costs to the extent of Rs. 7,00,000 per annum.
The life of the machine will be 5 years at the end of
which it will have a scrap value of Rs. 2,00,000. The
rate of income-tax is 40% and X Ltd.’s policy is not
to make an investment if the yield is less than 12%
per annum. The old machine, if sold today, will realise( 3 3 9600
"Rs. 1,00,000; it will have no salvage value if sold at
the end of 5th year. Advise X Ltd. whether -or not
the old machine should be replaced. Capital gain is tax
free. Ignore income-tax saving on additional depreciation
as well as on loss due to sale of existing machine.
Will it make any difference, if the additional
depreciation (on new machine) and gain on sale of old
machine is also subject to same tax at the rate of 40%,
and the scrap value of the new machine is.
