A project requires an initial investment of $200,000 in a machine and is expected to produce cost savings of $120,000 each year for two years. The tax rate is 30%. The machine will be depreciated using the MACRS 3-year schedule (first year 33%, second year 45%, third year 15% and fourth year 7%). The machine can be sold for $50,000 after two years. The project’s required return is 11%.
