Bulldog Inc. purchased a leather-cutting machine seven years ago. The cost of the machine was $11,200. It was expected to be used for 10 years. The machine has been depreciated on a straight-line basis with an estimated saivage value of $1,200. The machine can be sold for $3,500 today. Bulldog is considering the purchase of a new leather-cutting machine to replace the existing machine. The new machine costs $14,000, with an expected salvage value of $2,000 at the end of the third year. The new machine will be depreciated using the MACRS method and is considered a three-year property. There will be an increase of $1,700 in net working capital. Having the new machine will result in an increase of revenue of $13,000, but the operating costs will also increase by $6,000 for three years.
