The annual cost of operating the machine will be $57,000, but it will save the company $422,000 in labor costs each year. The machine will have a useful life of 10 years, and its salvage value in 10 years is estimated to be $342,000. Straight-line depreciation will be used in calculating taxes for this project, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 32 percent.
