Question

Ilana Industries, Inc., needs a new lathe. It can buy a new high-speed lathe for $1.4 million. The lathe will cost $39,000 per year to run, but will save the firm $134,000 in labor costs, and will be useful for 10 years. Suppose that for tax purposes, the lathe will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year life to a salvage value of $450,000. The actual market value of the lathe at that time also will be $450,000. The discount rate is 8%, and the corporate tax rate is 20%. What is the NPV of buying the new lathe? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) NPV $ _________
