Looner Industries is currently analyzing the purchase of a new machine that costs $158,000 and requires $19,900 in installation costs. Purchase of this machine is expected to result in an increase in net working capital of $29,600 to support the expanded level of operations. The firm plans to depreciate the machine under MACRS using a​ five-year recovery period​ (see the table attached for the applicable depreciation​ percentages) and expects to sell the machine to net $10,300 before taxes at the end of its usable life. The firm is subject to a 21% tax rate.     a. Calculate the terminal cash flow for a usable life of ​ (1) 3​ years, (2) 5​ years, and​ (3) 7 years. The following table can be used to solve for the terminal cash​ flow:  ​(Round to the nearest​ dollar.)       3-year Proceeds from sale of proposed asset $   +/- Tax on sale of proposed asset $   Total after-tax proceeds-new $   + Change in net working capital $   Terminal cash flow $   b. Discuss the effect of usable life on terminal cash flows using your findings in part a.
