your company is considering a machine that will


Your company is considering a machine that will cost $6,287 at Time 0 and which can be sold after 3 years for $790. To operate the machine, $886 must be invested at Time 0 in inventories; these funds will be recovered when the machine is retired at the end of Year 3. The machine will produce sales revenues of $853/year for 3 years; variable operating costs (excluding depreciation) will be 50 percent of sales. Operating cash inflows will begin 1 year from today (at Time 1). The machine is in the 3-year MACRS class. The MACRS class has depreciation of 33% in year 1, 45% in year 2, 15% in year 3, and 7% in year 4. The company has a 42 percent tax rate, enough taxable income from other assets to enable it to get a tax refund from this project if the project''s income is negative, and a 10 percent cost of capital. Inflation is zero. What are the total cash flows in year 2?
