(Calculating project cash flows and NPV) The Guo Chemical Corporation is considering the purchase of a chemical analysis machine. The purchase of this machine will result in an increase in earnings before interest and taxes of $75,000 per year. The machine has a purchase price of $400,000, and it would cost an additional $9,000 after tax to install this machine correctly. In addition, to operate this machine properly, inventory must be increased by $18,000. This machine has an expected life of 10 years, after which time it will have no salvage value. Also, assume simplified straight-line depreciation, that this machine is being depreciated down to zero, a 37 percent marginal tax rate, and a required rate of return of 14 percent. a. What is the initial outlay associated with this project? b. What are the annual after-tax cash flows associated with this project for years 1 through 9? c. What is the terminal cash flow in year 10 (that is, the annual after-tax cash flow in year 10 plus any additional cash flow associated with termination of the project)? d.
