The Slicehookshank Company's golf ball machine was purchased 5 years ago
for $550,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when purchased and was
being depreciated at $55,000 per year. It is estimated that the salvage
value of the machine is $200,000 after its useful life. A new high-
efficiency, digitally controlled machine can be purchased for $1,000,000.
It will cost $200,000 to ship and install the new machine. During its 5 -
year life it will reduce operating expenses by $300,000 per year but have no
impact on sales. It is estimated that the new machine will have no salvage
value and it will be depreciated using the 3-year MACRS class of 33.33%,
44.45 %, 14.81% and 7.41 %. The old machine can be sold today for $350,000.
The applicable tax rate is 25% and the WACC is 15 %.
Should Slicehookshank purchase the new machine or keep operating with the
old one?
