The campbell company is considering adding a robotic paint


The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,060,000, and it would cost another $24,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $619,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, 0.1481, and 0.0741. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $16,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $467,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%.

1. What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

2. If the project's cost of capital is 13 %, what is the NPV of the project? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
