The computer will be fully depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. The market value of the computer will be $67,000 in five years. The computer will replace five office employees whose combined annual salaries are $112,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm's required net working capital by $87,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 22 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 15 percent.
