Question 11

Geary Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency.
Buying a new machine press for $856,899 is estimated to result in $240,070 in annual pretax
cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (Refer to the MACRS table on page
277), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $94,391. The press also
requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $41,040, along with an additional
$5,806 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. If the shop's tax rate is 0.31 and
its discount rate is 0.15, what is the total cash flow in year 4? (Do not round your intermediate
calculations.)
