You must evaluate the purchase of a proposed spectrometer for the R&D department. The base price is $200,000, and it would cost another $30,000 to modify the equipment for special use by the firm. The equipment falls into the MACRS 3-year class and would be sold after 3 years for $50,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The equipment would require a $11,000 increase in net operating working capital (spare parts inventory). The project would have no effect on revenues, but it should save the firm $49,000 per year in before-tax labor costs. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%.
What are the project's annual cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Round your answers to the nearest cent.
