Exercise 9

If you worked Problems 17.31 through 17.33, develop a table that summarizes, for each country, the total taxes paid and the PW values of the depreciation, taxes, and CFAT series. For each criterion, select the country that provides the best PW value. Explain why the same country is not selected for all three criteria. ( Hint: The PW should be minimized for some criteria and maximized for other criteria. Review previous material first to be sure you choose correctly.)
Open Access, Inc. is an international provider of computer network communications gear. Different depreciation, recovery period, and tax law practices in the three countries where depreciable assets are located are summarized in the table. Also, information is provided about assets purchased 5 years ago at each location and sold this year. After-tax MARR = 9% per year and T e = 30% can be used for all countries.
