The old machine (bought 5 years ago from Tom Kat) cost $280,000, while the new one will cost $320,000, fully financed by a 5 year 8% per annum interest only loan.The new machine will be depreciated prime cost to $50,000 over its 5 year life. Harry estimates that it will be worth $40,000 (salvage value) after 5 years. The old machine is being depreciated at prime cost to zero over its original expected life of 10 years. However, Harry can sell the old machine today for $90,000.The new machine will save Harry $80,000 a year in cooling costs. However, with the new machine, Harry will lose $10,000 per annum of existing sales to Tom Kat, which Tom has regularly bought each year over the past 5 years from Harrys business.With the new machine, a one-off amount of cleaning supplies (current assets) at a cost of $12,000 will be required, and Harry estimates that accounts receivable (also current assets) will increase by $15,000.
