Wilson Machine Tools, Inc., a manufacturer of fabricated metal products, is considering the purchase of a high-tech computer-controlled milling machine at a cost of $95,000. The cost of installing the machine, preparing the site, wiring, and rearranging other equipment is expected to be $15,000. This installation cost will be added to the cost of the machine in order to determine the total cost basis for depreciation. Special jigs and tool die for a particular product will also be required at a cost of $10,000. The milling machine is expected to last 10 years, but the jigs and dies for only five years. Therefore, another set of jigs and dies has to be purchased at the end of five years. The milling machine will have a $10,000 salvage value at the end of its life, and the special jigs and dies are worth only$300 as scrap metal at any time in their lives. The machine is classified as a seven-year MACRS property, and the special jigs and dies are classified as a three-year MACRS property.…
