Apheresis machines are widely used in the medical industry. For example, blood banks use them for harvesting blood components such as platelets. One particularly beneficial procedure is to use apheresis to harvest baby stem cells, separate them from larger, more damaged stem cells (e.g., in the case of blood cancers) and cryogenically bank perhaps 50 million healthy cells to be used during a stem cell transplant. The manufacturer of apheresis machines has a worldwide market and maintains precise equipment to produce apheresis machines. One piece of equipment the manufacturer needs has been redesigned, built to new standards, and costs $250,000. It is MACRS-GDS 5-Year Property and is estimated to have an 8-year life with a salvage value of $37,500 at that time. Annual calibration and recertification costs $3,750 per year if purchased. The manufacturer has a 13% after-tax MARR and taxes are 25% per year. Part a Find the after-tax cash flows and PWAT on the investment if the apheresis manufacturer pays cash from retained earnings.
