Part 1 Garcia's Truckin Inc. is considering the purchase of a new production machine for $200,000. The purchase of this machine will result in an increase in earnings before interest and taxes of $50,000 per year. To operate the machine properly, workers would have to go through a brief training session that would cost $5,000 after taxes. It would cost $5,000 to install the machine properly. Also, because this machine is extremely efficient, it's purchase would necessitate an increase in inventory of $20,000.
