For the next two problems, please use the following information: Suppose New Era Caps is considering purchasing a machine to attach the brims at the end of its baseball caps. The machine would cost $12 million and would be depreciated over a 15 year useful life. Maintenance expenses will be $400,000 per year, payable at the end of the year.

It's expected the machine could be sold for $3,000,000 after the lease expires. New Era can borrow at 8% and has a 25% tax rate. 4K can borrow at 11% and has a 20% tax rate. The lease payment would not include maintenance expenses. 7. The annual cash flow for 4K to purchase the machine for years 1 - 9 would be? (a) (b) (c) (d) -$240,000 -$160,000 $800,000 $160,000
