In order to use this equipment, XYZ estimates it will have to If the machine is purchased, it will replace a machine with a book value of $10,000, the old machine can be sold for $25,000. During the first year of operations, the company expects total revenues to increase by $50,000, and from years 2 to 5 increase by $60,000 per year. The incremental operating expense is expected to be $10,000 in the first year and increase each year by 5%. The marginal tax rate is 40%. Find year 3 net cash flows.

Explanation / Answer

Year 3 cashflow = (revenue - expenses - depreciation)*(1-tax rate)) + depreciation

= (( (50000 + 2*60000) - (10000*(1.05)2 ) - (55000/5) ) * (1 - 40%) ) + (55000/5)

= 99785
