The Everly Equipment Company's flange-lipping machine was purchased 5 years ago for $60,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought, and its remaining depreciation is $6,000 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new high-efficiency, digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $130,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $30,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. The new equipment will have zero salvage value. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3- year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41% (There will be no depreciation in its 5th year since it will already be fully depreciated.). The old machine can be sold today for $40,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%, and the appropriate cost of capital is 12%. a.
