Suncor can buy a new, very efficient, wind turbine machine for $20 million. It will cost $350,000 per year to operate but will save Suncor $3,000,000 annually in operating expense and will be useful for 10 years. The turbine will have a salvage value of $3,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Suncor's discount rate is 10% and their tax rate is 20%. The machine falls into a 25% CCA asset class, declining balance method, and the half-year rule applies (the asset was purchased before 2018).
