that is used to produce smart cell phones. This existing equipment
was purchase 3 years ago at a base price of $60. Installation costs
at the time for the machine were $6. The existing equipment is

purchase price of $140 and is also considered a 5-year class for
MACRS. Installation costs for the new equipment are $5. The
estimated salvage value of the new equipment is $80. This new
equipment is more efficient than the existing one and thus savings
before taxes using the new equipment are $11 a year. Due to
these savings, inventories will see a one time reduction of $1 at
the time of replacement. The company's marginal tax rate is 40% and
the cost of capital is 12%. For this project, what is the
