NOTE: You already replied on this question with the answer as indicated below. Unfortunately, the answer is being marked as incorrect. I’m getting that same answer also, that’s why I asked for help in this problem. I can’t figure out what’s missing in the calculation process. Please take another look. Thanks. Gluon Inc. is considering the purchase of a new high pressure glueball. It can purchase the glueball for $140,000 and sell its old low-pressure glueball, which is fully depreciated, for $24,000. The new equipment has a 10-year useful life and will save $32,000 a year in expenses. The opportunity cost of capital is 8%, and the firm’s tax rate is 40%. What is the equivalent annual savings from the purchase if Gluon uses straight-line depreciation? Assume the new machine will have no salvage value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Equivalent Annual Savings: $3,935.87
