NEW PROJECT ANALYSISYou must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. Thebase price is $194,000, and shipping and installation costs wouldadd another $14,000. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class,and it would be sold after 3 years for $97,000. The applicabledepreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%.
