Integrative: Determining relevant cash flows Lombard Company is contemplating the purchase of a new high-speed widget grinder to replace the existing grinder. The existing grinder was purchased 2 years ago at an installed cost of $60,000; it was being depreciated under MACRS using a 5 -year recovery period. The existing grinder is expected to have a usable life of 5 more years. The new grinder costs$ 105,000 and requires $5,000 in installation costs; it has a 5-year usable life and would be depreciated under MACRS using a 5 -year recovery period. Lombard can currently sell the existing grinder for$ 70,000 without incurring any removal or cleanup costs. To support the increased business resulting from purchase of the new grinder, accounts receivable would increase by $40,000, inventories by$ 30,000, and accounts payable by $58,000. At the end of 5 years, the existing grinder would have a market value of zero; the new grinder would be sold to net$ 29,000 after removal and cleanup costs and before taxes. The firm is subject to a 40% tax rate. The estimated earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes over the 5 years for both the new and the existing grinder are shown in the following table.
