Your company is evaluating an investment project. The project would require buying a piece of machinery that costs $23.43 million dollars. As part of the effort to raise money for the project, your company will also sell an old piece of machinery right away which will generate an estimated after-tax salvage of $11.39 million dollars.
Assuming the above are all the investment-related activities for your company. What're the project's initial cash flows from investing activities?
Note: your answer should be in millions of dollars.

- (Calculating project cash flows and NPV) Raymobile Motors is considering the purchase of a new production machine for $500,000. The purchase of this machine will result in an increase in earnings before interest and taxes of $150,000 per year. To operate this machine properly, workers would have to go through a brief training session that would cost $25,000 after tax. In addition, it would cost $5,000 after tax to install this machine correctly. Also, because this machine is extremely efficient, its purchase would necessitate an increase in inventory of $30,000. This machine has an expected life of 10 years, after which it will have no salvage value. Assume simplified straight-line depreciation, that this machine is being depreciated down to zero, a 34 percent marginal tax rate, and a required rate of return of 15 percent. a.
