Speedy Auto Wash is contemplating the purchase of a new high-speed washer to replace the existing washer. The existing washer was purchased two years ago at an installed cost of $120,000; it was being depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period.

The existing washer is expected to have a usable life of five more years. The new washer costs $210,000 and requires $10,000 in installation costs; it has a five-year usable life and would be decpreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period.

The existing washer can currently be sold for $140,000, without incurring any removal or cleanup costs. To support the increased business resutling from purchase of the new washer, accounts receivable would increase by $80,000, inventories by $60,000, and accounts payable by $116,000.

At the end of five years, the existing washer is expected to have a market value of zero; the new washer would be sold to net $58,000 after removal and cleanup costs, and before taxes.

The firm pays taxes at a rate of 40% on both ordinary income and capital gains. The estimated profits before depretiation and taxes over the five years for both the new and existing washer are shown in the following table:
