St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $30,000 to $52,000 per year. The new machine will cost $87,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firm's WACC is 16%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value.
