Carlton Co. is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to itsproduction line. The sprayer's base price is $1,110,000, and itwould cost another $23,500 to install it. The machine falls intothe MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3years for $654,000. The machine would require an increase in networking capital (inventory) of $9,000. The sprayer would not changerevenues, but it is expected to save the firm $390,000 per year inbefore-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal taxrate is 30%.
