Replacement Analysis The Gilbert Instrument Corporation is considering replacing the wood steamer it currently uses to shape guitar sides. The steamer has 6 years of remaining life. If kept, the steamer will have depreciation expenses of $700 for 5 years and $350 for the sixth year. Its current book value is $3,850, and it can be sold on an Internet auction site for $4,360 at this time. If the old steamer is not replaced, it can be sold for $800 at the end of its useful life. Gilbert is considering purchasing the Side Steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, which costs $12,000 and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of $1,700. This steamer falls into the MACRS 5-years class, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00 %, 32.00 %, 19.20%, 11.52 %, 11.52 %, and 5.76 %. The new steamer is faster and allows for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; the new machine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,700 per year. To support the greater sales, the new machine would require that inventories increase by $2,900, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. Gilbert's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and the project cost of capital is 11%. What is the NPV of the project? Do not round intermediate calculations.
