Nuff Folding Box Company, Inc. is considering purchasing a new glueing machine. The glueing machine costs $50,000 and requires installation costs of $2,500. This outlay would be partially offset by the sale of an existing gluer. The existing gluer originally cost $10,000 and is four years old. It is being depreciated using the Class 10 CCA rate of 30% and can currently be sold for $15,000. The existing gluer has a remaining useful life of five years. If held until year 5, the existing machine's market value would be zero. Over its five-year life, the new machine should reduce operating costs (excluding depreciation) by
$17,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated using the Class 10 CCA rate of 30%. The firm has a 12 percent cost of
capital and a 40 percent tax on ordinary income and capital gains.
-The initial outlay for this project is __________
