Suppose Blue Thumb Tools is considering the introduction of a new, heavier hammer to be used for driving spikes. The new hammer will cost $490,000. The cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s five-year life, at the end of which the new hammer can be scrapped for $40,000. The new hammer will save the firm $146,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and it required an initial investment in net working capital of $35,000. The tax rate of the firm is 30%.
