The management of Melchiori Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $440,000, would last for 12 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $124,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 15% on all investment projects. (Ignore income taxes.)

The present value of the annual cost savings of $124,000 is closest to:

  1. $183,448
  2. $672,204
  3. $1,963,462
  4. $1,488,000
