Consider an asset with the cost basis of $500,000, useful life of 5 years and salvage value of 10,000 at the end of its useful life. This asset generates yearly revenue of $275,000 and its operating cost is $55,000 per year. Average inflation rate is estimated to be 4% over the next 5 years.
Calculate tax saving in year 2 due to depreciation; if the double declining method is used for depreciation (tax rate is 30%).
