^{Geary Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $1,046,400 is estimated to result in $348,800 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS Table), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $152,600. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $43,600, along with an additional $6,540 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project.}
