Oxygen Optimization is considering buying a new purification
system. The new system would be purchased today for 20,200 dollars.
It would be depreciated straight-line to 2,000 dollars over 2
years. In 2 years, the system would be sold and the after-tax cash
flow from capital spending in year 2 would be 3,100 dollars. The
system is expected to reduce costs by 7,800 dollars in year 1 and
by 15,200 dollars in year 2. If the tax rate is 50 percent and the
cost of capital is 10.2 percent, what is the net present value of
the new purification system project?
