It will be sold for scrap metal after 5 years for $7,750. The grill will have no effect on revenues but will save Johnny's $15,500 in energy expenses. The tax rate is 30%. Required: a. What are the operating cash flows in each year? b. What are the total cash flows in each year? c. Assuming the discount rate is 11%, calculate the net present value (NPV) of the cash flow stream.
