Johnny’s Lunches is considering purchasing a new, energy-efficient grill. The grill will cost $50,000 and will be depreciated according to the 3-year MACRS schedule. It will be sold for scrap metal after 3 years for $12,500. The grill will have no effect on revenues but will save Johnny’s $25,000 in energy expenses per year. The tax rate is 40%. Use the MACRS depreciation schedule.
