You must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $131,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $75,000. The machine would require a $10,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $35,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 10%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. a. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes after the 100% bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ ____ b. What are the project's annual cash flows during Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. c. Should the machine be purchased?
