One year ago your company purchased a machine for $110,000. You have learned that a new, much better machine is available for $150,000--it will be depreciated on a straight line basis and has no salvage value. You expect the machine to produce $60,000 per year in revenue and cost $20,000 per year to operate for the next ten years. The current machine is expected to produce $40,000 per year in revenue and also costs $20,000 per year to operate. The current machine’s depreciation expense is $10,000 per year for the next 10 years, after which it will be discarded. It will have no salvage value. The market value of the current machine today is $50,000. Your company’s tax rate is 45% and the opportunity cost of capital is 10%. Should your company replace its year-old machine?
