XYZ Co. is considering the purchase of a new machine. The machine will cost $250,000 and requires installation costs of $25,000. The existing machine can be sold currently for $25,070. It was purchased three years ago for $83,000 and depreciated using MACRS. It can be operated for another four years. Its market value at that time, if sold, would be $14,000. The new machine has expected life of five years and expected to provide operating cash savings of $88,000 a year for 2 years and $50,000 a year for the next two years before depreciation and taxes (EBD&T). After four years the new machine can be sold for $12,750. To support the increased business resulting from the purchase of new machine, A/R will increase by $12,000; inventory will increase by $25,000 and current liabilities by $41,000. The cost of capital is 17% and the tax rate is 40%.
