Maroon Limited is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $270,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,700,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $160,000 per year until it reaches $1,060,000, where it will remain.

  If your required return is 12 percent, which year should Maroon Limited purchase the machine?
