The asset is in the Class 5 CCA pool which allows 35% depreciation per year. It will have no salvage value after 5 years and the company tax rate is 40 percent. Jacqueline Elliott, the Chief Financial Officer of Taylor, is considering replacing this machine with a newer model costing $70,000. The new machine will cut operating costs by $10,000 each year for the next five years. Taylor's cost of capital is 8 percent. Should the firm replace the asset?
