A company is considering a 5-year project to expand production with the purchase of a new automated machine using the latest technology. The new machine would cost $180,000 FOB St. Louis, with a shipping cost of $7,000 to the plant location. Installation expenses of $13,000 would also be required. This new machine would be classified as 7-year property for MACRS depreciation purposes. The project engineers anticipate that this equipment could be sold for salvage for $42,000 at the end of the project. If the corporate tax rate is 27%, what is the after tax salvage cash flow for this new machine at the end of the project? (Answer to the nearest dollar.)
MACRS percentages for depreciation each year are as follows:
Year %
1 14.29
2 24.49
3 17.49
4 12.49
5 8.93
6 8.93
7 8.93
8 4.45
