Selected data relating to the robot are provided below: Cost of the robot $ 1,900,000 Installation and software $ 440,000 Annual savings in inventory carrying costs $ 229,000 Annual increase in power and maintenance costs $ 49,000 Salvage value in 5 years $ 78,000 Useful life 5 years In addition to the data above, engineering studies suggest that use of the robot will result in a savings of 30,000 direct labor-hours each year. The labor rate is $14 per hour. Also, the smoother work flow made possible by the use of automation will allow the company to reduce the amount of inventory on hand by $419,000. This inventory reduction will take place at the end of the first year of operation; the released funds will be available for use elsewhere in the company.
