It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years, after which it has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce EBITDA (earning before interest, taxes. depreciation. and amortization) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $20,000 per year.

Your company’s tax rate is 45%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%. Is it profitable to replace the year-old machine?
