Vignette: On with the Wind • Technology for renewable energy has been available for many years. • Transition to greater use of wind power requires a significant investment. • Federal tax law in the Energy Policy Act of 1992 allowed utilities a “production tax credit” of 1.5¢ per kWh. • With the tax credit and the advances in technology, many wind plants can now produce power for less 5¢ per kWh. ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Vignette: On with the Wind • Should government support wind energy through tax credit? • What are the costs and benefits of wind technology from the perspectives of the producers, consumers, and society in general. Are there any ethical issues? • What is the effect on wind energy investment if the wind power production tax credit is allowed to expire, or is extended for only a few years? • Using internet, can you determine how tax rates changed throughout the course of the 20th century? How has this affected the value of tax credits to industry? ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Income Taxes • An give an overview of federal income taxes. • Taxes are very complex. Lifetime task • No realistic economic analysis can ignore taxes. • Tax laws change regularly. E.g. Table 12-1, 2007 Tax Rates for individuals, does not apply for 2010. • Sources of information on taxes include: • http://www.irs.gov • “Your Federal Income Taxes”, free from IRS by mail • TurboTax (PC software for doing individual taxes) • Individuals and corporations pay taxes.

A Partner in the Business • U.S. Government is a partner in every business activity • Government shares profits through income taxes • Government shares losses through income taxes Related Point of View: Think of taxes as one more disbursement (like operating costs, maintenance, labor and materials, etc.) ENG3615-Engineering Economics

Classification of Business Expenditures • There are three distinct types of business expenditures: • for depreciable assets (e.g. equipment, buildings); • for non-depreciable assets (e.g., land, minerals); • all other business expenditures (e.g., labor, materials). • Expenditures for depreciable assets. See Chapter 11. ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Classification of Business Expenditures • Expenditures for non-depreciable assets. Non-depreciable assets include: • land (land has no finite life); • properties not used either in a trade, business, or for the production of income (e.g., home, automobile). • Assets subject to depletion (Chapter 11 again). • Since firms usually acquire assets for use in the business, their only non-depreciable assets normally are land and assets subject to depletion. ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Classification of Business Expenditures • All other business expenditures. This is probably the largest category. It includes all the ordinary and necessary expenditures of operating a business, including the following: • labor costs; • materials; • all direct and indirect costs; • facilities and productive equipment with a useful life of one year or less. • These are all routine expenditures. ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Classification of Business Expenditures • Recall there are three distinct types of business expenditures: • for depreciable assets;for non-depreciable assets; • all other business expenditures. • Entering capital expenditures into the accounting records of the firm (the “books”) is called capitalizing them. • Entering all other business expenditures into the accounting records is called expensing them. Capital Expenditures Expense Expenditures ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Example 12-1 Taxable Income • Example: A firm has the following results (in millions of dollars) for a 3-year period. Compute the taxable income for each of the 3 years. • Since the special tooling has a 3-year useful life, it is a capital expenditure. ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Example 12-1 Taxable Income Since the special tooling has a 3-year useful life, it is a capital expenditure. For SL depreciation and no salvage value: the annual depreciation charge is (P-S)/N = (60-0)/3 = $20 million; taxable income = 200 – 140 – 20 = $40 million for each of the three years.

Example 12-3 Federal Corporate Income Tax The French Chemical Corp. bought land for $220,000, built a $900,000 factory building, and installed $650,000 worth of chemical equipment. The plant was completed and operation begun on April 1. Gross income for the calendar year was $450,000. All expenses amounted to $100,000. The firm used MACRS for depreciation.

Capital Gains and Losses: Non-depreciated Assets Non-depreciable assets: land, minerals, stocks, bonds. Example. • Suppose you buy a stock for $1,000, keep it for two years, and sell it for $1,200. The difference $1200 - $1,000 = $200 is called a capital gain. • Suppose you buy a stock for $500, keep it for two years, and sell it for $400. The difference 400-500 = -$100 is called a capital loss(a negative capital gain). Generalization: A firm sells or exchanges a capital asset. Entries in the firm’s accounting records (“the books”) reflect this change. If Selling Price > Original Cost Basis, then Capital gain = Selling price – Original Cost Basis ( > 0) If Selling price < Original Cost Basis, then Capital loss = Selling price – Original Cost Basis (< 0) ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Capital Gains and Losses: Non-depreciated Assets Tax laws for treating capital gains change over time. Currently, assets held less than six months produce short-term gains or losses. Capital assets held for more than six months produce long-term gains or losses. The current tax law sets the net capital gains tax at 15% for assets held more than 12 months by individuals. See a tax accountant or an attorney for advise here. ENG3615-Engineering Economics

Investment Tax Credit (ITC) • ITC has been used to stimulate capital investments. • Businesses were able to deduct a percentage of their new equipment purchases as a tax credit. • Depending on the specific ITC provisions, the credit might or might not be subtracted from the basis for depreciation. • Tax Reform Act of 1986 eliminated ITC for most assets, although credits are allowed in some specialized cases, such as historical building preservation and in the development of alternate energy sources. ENG3615-Engineering Economics
Estimating the After-Tax Rate of Return • For nondepreciable assets After-tax rate of return = (1 – Incremental tax rate) (Before-tax rate of return) ENG3615-Engineering Economics
=IRR(J2..J7) =Salvage – BV =750.00 – 345.60 =Taxed BTCF – Depr. + Recap. Depr. =800.00 – 172.80 + 404.40 Example 12-7 Calculation of the After-Tax Rate of Return ENG3615-Engineering Economics
