You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $230,000, and it would cost another $46,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $92,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require an $15,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $79,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.
