Builtrite is cоnsidering purchаsing а new mаchine that wоuld cоst $55,000 and the machine would be depreciated (straight line) down to $0 over its five-year life.  At the end of five years, it is believed that the machine could be sold for $15,000.  The current machine being used was purchased 3 years ago at a cost of $45,000 and it is being depreciated down to zero over its 5-year life.  The current machine's salvage value now is $30,000. The new machine would increase EBDT by $42,000 annually and would require an additional $4000 in inventory.  Builtrite’s marginal tax rate is 34%. What is the Initial Investment associated with the purchase of this machine?
