XYZ Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new stamping machine. The machines base price is $275,000 and it would cost another $10,000 to install a modification for their particular use requirements. The machine falls into a 20% CCA rate and will be sold after 5 years for $85,000. The machine requires an increase in net working capital (inventory) $9,000. The milling machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $42,000 per year in before-tax operating costs. Clancys marginal tax rate is 32%.
