ou must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the miling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $155,000, and le equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $80,000, The machine would require a $9,500 crease in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs fould decline by $39,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 8%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using he machine. a. How should the $4,500 spent last year be handled? 1. Only the tax effect of the research expenses should be included in the analysis. II. Last year's expenditure should be treated as a terminal cash flow and deale with at the end of the profect's life. Hence, it should not be included in the initial investment outlay. 111. Last year's expenditure is considered an opportunity cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. IV. Last year's expenditure is considered a sunk cost and does not represent an incremental cash flow. Hence, it should not be included in the analysis. V. The cost of research is an incremental cash flow and should be included in the analysis. b. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes after the 100% bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year 0 orolect cash flow? Enter your answer as a positive value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. c. What are the project's annual cash flows during Years 1,2, and 3 ? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. Year 1: 5 Year 2: $ Year 3: 5 d. Should the machine be purchased
