Periodic cash inflows Scenic Tours, Inc., is a provider of bus tours throughout New England. The corporation is considering the replacement of 11 of its older buses. The existing buses were purchased 4 years ago at a total cost of $2,668,000 and are being depreciated using MACRS and a 5-year recovery period (see table ). The new buses would have larger passenger capacity and better fuel efficiency as well as lower maintenance costs. The total cost for 11 new buses is $2,977,000. Like the older buses, the new ones would be depreciated using MACRS and a 5-year recovery period. Scenic is subject to a tax rate of 21%. The following table presents revenues and cash expenses (excluding depreciation and interest) for the proposed purchase as well as the present fleet. Use all of the information given to calculate incremental (net) periodic cash flows for the proposed bus replacement. With the proposed new buses (000) Revenue Expenses (exclud. deprec. and int.)
