• Tax payments are in arrears: Taxes are paid in the year following the transaction.
Step 2: Calculate the Annual Tax Savings from Writing Down Allowances
(WDA)
Each year, the machinery will be depreciated at a rate of 25% on the reducing balance basis. The WDA
will be multiplied by the tax rate (33%) to calculate the tax savings.
• Year 1:
o WDA = 25% × Rs. 40,000 = Rs. 10,000
• Year 2:
o WDA = 25% × Rs. 30,000 (remaining value after Year 1 WDA) = Rs. 7,500
• Year 3:
o WDA = 25% × Rs. 22,500 = Rs. 5,625
• Year 4:
o WDA = 25% × Rs. 16,875 = Rs. 4,218.75
The after-tax savings each year from the cost savings of Rs. 14,000 will be:
At the end of Year 4, the machinery will be sold for Rs. 5,000. The book value (WDV) of the machinery at
the end of Year 4 is:
Since the machinery is sold for Rs. 5,000, a balancing charge arises. This is the difference between the
WDV and the sale price, which will be taxed at 33%.
The final cash flow in Year 4 will be the after-tax savings, plus the sale proceeds, minus the tax on the
balancing charge.

Conclusion
Since the NPV of the project is positive (Rs. 577.11), the machinery should be purchased as it will add
value to the company.
