Lowell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to the production line. The prayer's base price is $100,000, and it would cost another $10,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $66,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 33%, 45%, and 15%. The machine would require and, increase in net working capital of $5,000.
