You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck.  The company already spent $15,000 (i.e., sunk cost) in last year to improve the production line site. The truck's basic price is $90,000, and it will cost another $10,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. Use of the truck will require an increase in net operating working capital (spare parts of inventory) of $25,000. The truck falls into the MACRS 3 year class, and it will be sold after three years for $20,000 (salvage value). The truck will increase the sale by $200,000, and the cost of all expenses will be 40% of sales. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.   What is the operating cash flow in Year 1?    $120,800   $45,000   $52,200   $98,000   $85,200
