TransPacific Shipping is considering replacing an existing ship with one of two newer, more efficient ones. The existing ship is three years old, cost $32 million, and is being depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period.
Although the existing ship has only three years (years 4, 5, and 6) of depreciation remaining under MACRS, it has a remaining usable life of five years. Ship A, one of the two possible replacement ships, costs $40 million to purchase and $8 million to outfit for service. It has a five-year usable life and will be depreciated under MACRS using a five year recovery period. Ship B costs $54 million to purchase and $6 million to outfit.
It also has a five-year usable life and will be depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. Increased investments in net working capital will accompany the decision to acquire ship A or ship B. Purchase of ship A would result in a $4-million increase in net working capital; ship B would result in a $6-million increase in net working capital. The projected profits before depreciation and taxes for each alternative ship and the existing ship are given in the following table.
