The J. J. Hill Company is considering new digging equipment machine. The existing digging equipment cost $1,000,000 five years ago and is being depreciated using MACRS, when classified as a 5-year asset. Hill’s management estimates the old equipment can be sold for $200,000. The new equipment costs $1,200,000 and would be depreciated over five years using MACRS. At the end of the fifth year, Hill’s management intends to sell the new equipment for $400,000. The new equipment is more efficient and would reduce expenses by $200,000 per year for the next five years. The marginal tax rate is 35%.
