POM Bakery is considering replacement of a custard injecting machine with a new high-speed injector, which can fill twice as many cakes per hour as the old machine. The existing injection machine was purchased 2 years ago for $4M. It could be sold today for $2M and its expected salvage value in three years is $0.5M. The injectors are in Class 43 with a 30% depreciation rate. The new custard injector costs $3M. The new machine will be sold for $1.5M at the end of 3 years. The new machine will increase EBITDA by $800,000 per year. The companys tax rate is 40% and its cost of capital is 12%. What is the free cash flow in the terminal year (three years after replacement)? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
