The existing grinder was purchased 2 years ago at an installed cost of $60,600; it was being depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. The existing grinder is expected to have a usable life of 5 more years. The new grinder costs 5103,400 and requires $5,400 in installation costs; it has a 5-year usable life and would be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. Lombard can currently sell the existing grinder for $69,300 without incurring any removal or cleanup costs. To support the increased business resulting from purchase of the new grinder, accounts receivable would increase by $40,200, inventories by $29,800, and accounts payable by $57,500. At the end of 5 years, the existing grinder would have a market value of zero; the new grinder would be sold to net $28,100 after removal and cleanup costs and before taxes. The firm is subject a 40% tax rate. The estimated earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes over the 5 years for both the new and the existing grinder are shown in the following table (Table B contains the applicable MACRS depreciation percentages.) a.
