You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The purchase price of the spectrometer including modifications is $210,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment would be sold after 3 years for $62,000. The equipment would require a $5,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $50,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%.
