Kolby's Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $765,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's six-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $100,000. The sausage system will save the firm $188,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $46,000.
