Shrieves Casting Company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by Sidney Johnson, a recently graduated MBA. The cost of new machinery for the new product line would be $644,000. The machinery has economic life of eight years, and has no salvage value.
