We will start off with some preliminary work, including the calculation of depreciation each year, sales price, and un

The machine will have a salvage value at the end of the project, but we are concerned with the aftertax salvage valu
Pretax salvage value $ 30,000
Taxes on sale 5,090
Aftertax salvage value $ 24,910
Now we can calculate the pro forma income statement for each year (Table 8.1 in the textbook), which will be:
With this, the incremental cash flows each year, NPV for different interest rates, and IRR for the project are (Table 8
