Hula Hoop Inc (HHI) is considering whether to purchase a new hula hoop-producing machine at a cost of $1,200,000. The machine would produce 100,000 hula hoops per year during its useful life of three years, and would be depreciated for tax purposes at a rate of $400,000 per year. No salvage value is expected. Currently, hula hoops can be sold for $15 each. The materials and labor required to produce a hula hoop currently cost $9. The inflation rate is expected to be 2% per year, and the prices of both hula hoops and hula hoop inputs are expected to increase at the inflation rate. The tax rate is 34%.
