Question
![. Michelin is considering going "lights out" in the mixing area of the business that operates 24/7. Currently, personnel with a loaded cost of
$600,000 per year are used to manually weigh real rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, oils, and other components prior to manual insertion in
a Banbary mixer that provides a homogeneous blend of rubber for making tires (rubber products). New technology is available that has the
reliability and consistency desired to equal or exceed the quality of blend now achieved manually; it will replace all of the manual effort described
above. The income-tax rate is 25% and the after-tax MARR is 10%.
Determine the tax for Year 2 (only - not a total) if they decide to continue with manual mixing.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7b0a5411-bdb0-4804-8919-e2df25fb5bff%2Fe95c6901-d41b-4bce-8949-fadba4156e33%2F70qkb68_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
