If the new extractor is purchased annual revenues will


Parker Chemicals purchased a hexene extractor 10 years ago for $120,000. It is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over 15 years to an estimated salvage value of zero. It can be sold today for $10,000. Parker is considering purchasing a new more efficient extractor that would cost $270,000 installed and would be depreciated as a 10-year MACRS asset. (The depreciation rate for year one is 10 percent for this asset.) The company's marginal tax rate is 40%. If the new extractor is purchased, annual revenues will increase by $10,000 and annual operating expenses will decrease by $10,000. What is the net cash flow in year 1?

A) $19,600
B) $ 7,600
C) $24,200
