Terminal cash flow: Replacement decisionRussell Industries is considering replacing a fully depreciated machine that has a remaining useful life of 10 years with a newer, more sophisticated machine. The new machine will cost $196,000 and will require $29,700 in installation costs. It will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period (see the table)

or the applicable depreciation percentages). A $22,000 increase in net working capital will be required to support the new machine. The firm's managers plan to evaluate the potential replacement over a 4-year period. They estimate that the old machine could be sold at the end of 4 years to net $14,200 before taxes; the new machine at the end of 4 years will be worth $72,000 before taxes. Calculate the terminal cash flow at the end of year 4 that is relevant to the proposed purchase of the new machine. The firm is subject to a 21% tax rate.
