Cash flows estimation and capital budgeting:
You are the head of finance department in XYZ Company. You are
considering adding a new machine to your production facility. The
new machine’s base price is $10,000.00, and it would cost another
$2,160.00 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year
class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%,
14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after three years for
$2,550.00. The machine would require an increase in net working
capital (inventory) of $840.00. The new machine would not change
revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $35,425.00 per year
in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. XYZ's marginal tax
rate is 40.00%.
a. What is the initial cash outlay?

c. What is the additional Year-3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax
salvage and the return of working capital – also called terminal
value)?
