The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paintsprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is$1,120,000, and it would cost another $18,500 to install it. Themachine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRSdepreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and itwould be sold after 3 years for $615,000. The machine would requirean increase in net working capital (inventory) of $16,500. Thesprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save thefirm $424,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor.Campbell's marginal tax rate is 30%.
