Hartsfield Company is considering purchasing a set of machine tools at a cost of $90,000. The purchase is expected to generate revenues of $32,000. The purchase of the tools will also lead to higher operating costs of $9,000 per year in each of the next three years. Additional profits will be taxed at a rate of 40%. The asset falls into CCA Class 45 (rate = 30%) for tax purposes and the 50% rule applies. The project has a three-year life. The constant-dollar market (re-sale) value of the machine tools is expected to fall by 30% annually. The company will require a working capital of $5,000 to be maintained in purchasing power over the lifetime of the project and can be recovered at the time of the projects completion.

The general inflation rate is 5% per year (and affects everything that it normally affects). Assume a MARR =7%.
