The new machine will be depreciated using the simplified


Your company is considering the replacement of an old machine with a new one that is more efficient. The old machine cost $50,000 when it was purchased 9 years ago. The old machine is being depreciated using the simplified straight-line method over a useful life of 10 years. The old machine could be sold today for $4000. The new machine has an invoice price of $75,000, and it will cost $5000 for shipping and $20000 to modify and install the machine. Cost savings from use of the new machine are expected to be $25000 per year for 5 years, at which time the machine will be worn out and sold for its estimated scarp of value of $5000. The new machine will be depreciated using the simplified straight-line method over its 5 year useful life, resulting in expected to increase by $10000 at the inception of the project, but this amount will be recaptured at the end of year five. What is the incremental free cash flow for year one?
