Question

I am needing help with this problem for my finance class. Thank you all!

"You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck for $60,000. The truck falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it will be sold after three years for $19,500. Use of the truck will require an increase in NWC (spare parts inventory) of $1,500. The truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $20,500 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent."

What will the cash flows for this project be? I need to find the future cash flows for years 0, 1, 2, and 3, for negative amounts to be indicated by a minus sign, and for the answers to be rounded to 2 decimal places.
