Kolby’s Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $538,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s four-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $114,000. The sausage system will save the firm $202,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $60,000.
