The local franchise of Jiffy Lube is thinking of buying a new lift for $50,000 that would make it easier to access the oil filter in customers' cars and save labor. The savings would increase over the project's 3-year life, in line with the projected growth of the business. 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 12%. The company has a tax rate of 21%.
