Hanna manufactures components for the farming industry and is considering replacing its existing equipment with new and more high technology machinery, despite the fact that its existing equipment is only a few years old and still working well. The existing machinery will be fully depreciated in 5 years time but will have sufficient machine hours left to remain functioning for another 15 years. If Hanna purchases new equipment, the old machinery could be disposed of for $2,500,000. The new equipment would cost $65,000,000 and for tax purposes it would fall into a declining balance CCA class. To stimulate the economy, the recent budget stipulates that for year 1 the CCA rate would be 45%, reducing to 40% in year 2, and then returning to 30% thereafter. This equipment would have a useful life of 10 years, after which it is expected to be disposed of for proceeds of $3,000,000 To make this new machinery operate, customized software totaling $10,000,000 would be purchased.
