Strong Structures Inc. is considering the replacement of an existing machine. The new machine costs $1,300,000 and requires installation costs of $100,000. The existing machine currently has a salvage value of $210,000 before taxes. It was purchased at a price of $1,000,000 (also its depreciable base) and has been depreciated under the MACRS 5-year recovery period. Over the 7-year economic life of the replacement proposal, the new machine should reduce operating costs by $450,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated under the MACRS 5-year recovery period and can be sold for $180,000 at the end of its economic life. Also, the new machine will require an increase in net working capital of $40,000. The WACC is 12% and marginal tax rate is 40%.
