Question regarding production efficiency


Purple Haze Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $470,000 is estimated to result in $190,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $80,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $20,000, along with an additional $2,500 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 35% and its discount rate is 9 percent, should the company buy and install the machine press?
