Mississippi river shipyards is considering the replacement


Mississippi River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $27,000 to $56,000 per year. The new machine will cost $87,500, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period; so the applicable depreciation rates are 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, and 6%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 40%, and the firm's WACC is 14%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. What is the NPV of the project? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
