Afarmer has the opportunity to purchase the pioneer appli-pro super low volume (slv) applicator system which is a new way to apply inoculant to silage using low volumes of inoculant. microbial inoculants can make silage fermentation more efficient, thereby preserving more nutrients and dry matter, and sometimes improve animal performance. some inoculants have also been designed to specifically improve aerobic stability. this is important because a large portion of dry matter (dm) lost in a silo is actually due to aerobic spoilage. the farmer believes that this new inoculant system can be purchased for $1,600 and it will cost $1.25/ton for the inoculant. he believes this process will reduce silage spoilage and save $600/year in feed costs (after any application, labor or chemical costs). he plans to keep the inoculant system for 5 years. at the end of 5 years he believes he will scrap the system and it will be worthless. the farm’s accountant has done some preliminary work. the marginal tax rate is 30%, the pre-tax risk-adjusted discount rate is 12% and inflation is assumed to be zero. the accountant calculates the present value of the tax savings from depreciation to be $379.29, and the present value of the after-tax terminal value to be $0. how much money does the farmer save after taxes each year if he purchases slv applicator?
