Both machines are 5-year property with depreciation rates of 20%, 32%, and 19.2% in the first three years. The new felt press will expand sales because the new fashion is for smoother felt. The old machine's current market value is $1,000. Taxes are 40%. What is the net salvage value of the old press if Rumpel replaces it today? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
