DeYoung Entertainment Enterprises is considering replacing the latex molding machine it uses to fabricate rubber chickens with a newer, more efficient model. The current machine has a book value of $600,000 and is being depreciated by $120,000 per year over its remaining useful life of 5 years. The current machine would be worn out and worthless in 5 years, but DeYoung can sell it now to a Halloween mask manufacturer for $180,000. If DeYoung doesn't replace the current machine, it will have no salvage value at the end of its useful life. The new machine has a purchase price of $825,000, an estimated useful life and MACRS class life of 5 years, and an estimated salvage value of $105,000.
