Better Tires Corp. is planning to buy a new tire making machine for $80,000 that would save it $40,000 per year in production costs. The savings would be constant over the project's 3-year life. The machine is to be linearly depreciated to zero and will have no resale value after 3 years.

The appropriate cost of capital for this project is 16% and the tax rate is 21%.
