Holmes manufacturing is considering a new machine that


Holmes Manufacturing is considering a new machine that costs $270,000 and would reduce pretax manufacturing costs by $90,000 annually. Holmes would use the 3-year MACRS method to depreciate the machine, and management thinks the machine would have a value of $22,000 at the end of its 5-year operating life. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. Net operating working capital would increase by $21,000 initially, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's 5-year life. Holmes' marginal tax rate is 40%, and a 12% WACC is appropriate for the project.
