The president of the company you work for has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new chromatograph for the firm's RBD department. The equipment's basic price is $78,000, and it would cost another $17,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The chromatograph, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, would be sold after 3 years for $29,600. The MACRS rates for the first 3 years are 0.3333,0.4445 and 0.1481, Use of the equipment would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $4,480. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $31,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Cash outfiows and negative NPV value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar
