Expect the maintenance and operating costs to be $3000 a year and to increase $600 per year. The salvage value of the machine will be $20,000. What is the rate of return for this machine?

A new machine can be purchased for $1,200,000. It will cost $35,000 to ship and $15,000 to modify the machine. A $12,000 recently completed feasibility study indicated that the firm can employ an existing factory owned by the firm, which would have otherwise been sold for $180,000. The firm will borrow $750,000 to finance the acquisition. Total interest expense for 5 years is expected to approximate $350,000. What is the investment cost of the machine for capital budgeting purposes?
