In the previous problem, suppose the fixed asset actually qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation. All the other facts are the same. What is the new NPV?

Data from Previous Problem

Geller Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $530,000 is estimated to result in $192,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $45,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $15,000, along with an additional $4,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the tax rate is 21 percent and the project’s required return is 9 percent, should the company buy and install the machine press?
