The Bigbee Bottling Company is contemplating the replacement of one of its bottling machines with a newer and more efficient one. The old machine has a book value of $650,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. The firm does not expect to realize any return from scrapping the old machine in 5 years, but it can sell it now to another firm in the industry for $295,000. The old machine is being depreciated by $130,000 per year, using the straight-line method. The new machine has a purchase price of $1,100,000, an estimated useful life and MACRS class life of 5 years, and an estimated salvage value of $155,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. It is expected to economize on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs, as well as to reduce the number of defective bottles.
