New-Project Analysis

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paintsprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is$1,000,000, and it would cost another $22,500 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 $624,000. The machine would requirean increase in net working capital (inventory) of $18,000. Thesprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save thefirm $477,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor.Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%.
