ABCD Corp is considering a five- year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $325,000 is estimated to result in $120,000 in annual pre-tax cost savings. The press falls into Class 8 for CCA purposes (CCA rate of 20% per year), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $49,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $22,000, along with an additional $3,100 in inventory for each succeeding year of the projects. If the companys tax rate is 45% and its discount rate is 8%, should it buy and install the machine press? (2marks)
