New project analysis?) Garcia's Truckin' Inc. is considering the purchase of a new production machine for $250000. The purchase of this machine will result in an increase in earnings before interest and taxes of $70000 per year.

Assume simplified? straight-line depreciation and that the machine is being depreciated down to? zero, a 35 percent marginal tax? rate, and a required rate of return of 11 percent.
