Boyertown Industrial Tools is considering a 2-year project to improve its production efficiency. They have spent $25,000 over the previous year researching a new machine press.  Buying the new machine press for $500,000 is estimated to result in $300,000 in annual pretax cost savings and will provide quarterly dividends of $2,500 to the shareholders. The press falls in the MACRS three-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $100,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $50,000, along with an additional $5,000 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the tax rate is 35, what is the aftertax salvage value for the machine press?
