Etonic Inc. is considering an investment of $382,000 in an asset with an economic life of 5 years. The firm estimates that the nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first year will be $262,000 and $87,000, respectively. Both revenues and expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 2 percent. Etonic will use the straight-line method to depreciate its asset to zero over five years. The salvage value of the asset is estimated to be $62,000 in nominal terms at that time. The one-time net working capital investment of $18,500 is required immediately and will be recovered at the end of the project. All corporate cash flows are subject to a 34 percent tax rate.
What is the project’s total nominal cash flow from assets for each year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.) |
