Your company manufactures circuit boards and other electronic parts for various commercial products. Design changes in part of the product$$ line, which are expected to increase$$ sales, will require changes in the manufacturing operation. The cost basis of new equipment required is $$$$220,000($MACRS five$-$year property$$ class; GDS$,20\mathrm{.}00\%,32\mathrm{.}00\%,19\mathrm{.}20\%,11\mathrm{.}52\%,11\mathrm{.}52\%,5\mathrm{.}76\%).$ Increased annual$$ revenues, in year zero$$ dollars, are estimated to be $$$$350,000.$ Increased annual$$ expenses, in year zero$$ dollars, are estimated to be $$$$240,000.$ The estimated market value of equipment in actual dollars at the end of the$$ six$-$year analysis period is $$$$35,000.$ General price inflation is estimated at $4\mathrm{.}9\%$ per$$ year; the total increase rate of annual revenues is $2\mathrm{.}4\%,$ and for annual expenses it is $5\mathrm{.}7\%$; the$$ after$-$tax MARR$($in market$$ terms$)$ is $12\%$ per year $($i Subscript m$)$; and t$=25\%.$

a$.$ Based on an$$ after$-$tax, actual$-$dollar$$ analysis, what is the maximum amount that your company can afford to spend on the total project$($i$.$e$.,$ changing the manufacturing$$ operations$)?$ Use the PW method of analysis.

Fill in the following table. Express values in A$$$$.($Round to the nearest$$ dollar.$)$ The table has Year, $0,1,2,3,4,5,6,6$ and the ATCF for each.

b$.$ Calculate the PW$.$

c$.$ What is the total investment that can be afforded $ $?$

d$.$ Develop$($show$)$ your ATCF in real dollars. The table has years $0,1,2,3,4,5,6,6$ and the ATCF for each.
