| Masters Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $1,075,200 is estimated to result in $358,400 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS Table), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $156,800. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $44,800, along with an additional $6,720 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. |
| If the shop's tax rate is 24 percent and its discount rate is 14 percent, what is the NPV for this project?
