WCX, Inc. is considering the replacement of its old stamping machine with a new one. The old machine was purchased 3 years ago for $62,000 and was expected to last for 8 years. The old machine has been depreciated using straight-line depreciation with an expected salvage value at the end of its life of $6,000. The new machine will cost $84,000 and would be considered a MACRS 3 year asset. The new machine would have a useful life of 5 years and then be sold for $8,000. The new stamping machine would result in increased revenues of $12,000 per year and would cost an additional $2,000 per year to operate. If you decide to purchase the new machine, the old machine could be sold today for $40,000. The company has a 6% cost of capital and is in the 40% tax bracket. Its Cost Recovery Policy specifies 4 years as its payback requirement. Using payback period, discounted payback period, NPV, IRR, and MIRR, determine if this is a good project or not.
