Kolby's Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $665,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $111,000. The sausage system will save the firm $199,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $57,000.
