![14. A company is evaluating a proposal to purchase a new piece of machinery, and the
company spent $5,000 last year studying the possibility of purchasing the machine. The
base price of the machine is $108,000, and shipping and installation costs total $12,500.
For tax depreciation purposes the machine qualifies as a MACRS 3-year asset (with
depreciation rates of 33, 45, 15, and 7 percent). If the machine is purchased, working
capital will have to increase by $5,500. The machine will not increase sales, but it is
expected to reduce labor costs by $44,000 per year. The applicable tax rate is 35
percent, and the applicable risk-adjusted cost of capital is 12 percent. At the end of
three years the machine will be sold for $65,000. Prepare the cash flow spreadsheet
displaying your calculations and your cash flows per year, attach it as part of your
answer, and then answer the following questions:
A. What should you do with the $5,000 spent last year?
B. What is the year zero cash flow?
C. What are the total cash flows for years 1, 2, and 3?
D. Should the company purchase the machine? Why or why not?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F78664867-aee8-4f07-a04f-6c7c980e0db7%2F4aa3936a-a229-40d7-80a6-c77f4ca6659e%2F4oll3gm_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
