Builtrite is considering purchasing a new machine that would cost $80,000 and the machine would be depreciated (straight line) down to $0 over its five year life. At the end of five years it is believed that the machine could be sold for $25,000. The current machine being used was purchased 3 years ago at a cost of $50,000 and it is being depreciated down to zero over its 5 year life. The current machine's salvage value now is $30,000. Also, a higher level of inventory would be needed in the amount of $4000 for the new machine. The new machine would increase EBDT by $56,000 annually. Builtrites marginal tax rate is 34%.

A. $16,500

B. $20,500

C. $21,500

D. $15,940
