You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new hydropropolaser for the R&D department. The price for this equipment is $70,000, and it would cost another $14,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The hydropropolaser, which has a MACRS 3-year recovery period (wts. 33%, 45%, 15%, 7%) would be sold after 3 years for $30,000. Use of this equipment would require an increase in net working capital of $11,000. The hydropropolaser would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $20,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 36%.
