Droids-R-Us Inc. (DRU), is considering the installation of a new production line to make service mechanoids. The cost of the new manufacturing equipment is $2.2 million. The machines are classified as 7-year properties. (MACRS rates are provided in the table, below.) The machines will be purchased at the beginning of 2014. (DRU uses a mid-year placed-in-service convention.)

DRU's engineers estimate that the new assembly line could be ready for operations in early 2014. Annual EBITDA is forecasted to be $1.3M for 2014 and all subsequent years of the project. DRU's marginal tax rate is 35%.

What is the value of the depreciation tax shield in 2015? (Do NOT assume that the equipment is salvaged in 2015.) Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
