Lowell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to the production line.  The prayer’s base price is $100,000, and it would cost another $10,000 to install it.  The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $33,000.  The MACRS rates for the first three years are 33%, 45%, and 15%.  The machine would require and, increase in net working capital of $6,600.  The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $40,000 per year in before tax operating costs, mainly labor.  Lowell’s marginal tax rate (federal plus state) is 25%.
