Please show work

A Drlling machine costs S60,000, falling into the MACRS 3-year class. Its purchase would require an increase in net operating working capital of S5,000 at t-0. The machine would increase the firm's revenues by $30,000 per year but would also increase operating costs by $8,000 per year. It will be sold for $20,000 at the end of year 3 . The firm's tax rate is 35%. Questions: What is the net investment required at t = 0? What is the operating cash flow in Year 2? What is the terminal year non-operating cash flows at the end of Year 3?

Explanation / Answer

a)Net Investment =Purchase cost+working capital

        =60000+5000

           = $ 65000

b)Depreciation for year2 :60000*.4445 = 26670

Income before tax : sales -cost -depreciation

     = 30000-8000-26670

      = - 4670

Income after tax = -4670[1-.35]

        = - 3035.5

Operating cash flow =Income after tax+ depreciation

      = -3035.5 + 26670

       = 23634.50

3)Book value of machine at year3 "=: cost [1-accumulated depreciation]

= 60000[1-.3333-.4445-.1481-.0741]

= 4446

gain on sale =20000-4446= 15554

Tax on gain =15554*.35= 5443.9

After tax gain on sale = 20000-5443.9 = 14556.1

tERminal value =after tax sale value+working capital

      = 14556.1+5000

        = 19556.1
