The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $920,000, and it would cost another $23,000 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and itwould be sold after 3 years for $642,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,000. The sprayer would notchange revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $371,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%.
