Adler Is Replacing Its Old Packing Line with a More

Adler is replacing its old packing line with a more efficient line. The old line was being depreciated on a straight-line basis at a rate of $20,000 per year. The old machine has a current book value of $100,000. The new line, which costs $910,000, will be depreciated on a 10-year MACRS schedule. The more efficient operation is expected to increase revenues by $50,000 per year and reduce annual operating costs by $80,000. Compute the net cash flows for Adler in year 2. Assume Adler has a marginal tax rate of 40%. Use the rounded MACRS schedule listed below:
