Help me answer the following

James is considering a project which would cost $5,000 now. The annual benefits, for 4 years, would be a fixed income of $2,500 a year, plus other savings of $500 a year in year 1, rising by 5% each year because of inflation. Running costs will be $1,000 in the first year, but would increase at 10% each year because of inflating labor costs. The general rate of inflation is expected to be 7'/2% and the company's required money rate of return is 16%. Is the project worthwhile? (Ignore taxation.) A project needs an initial investment in machinery of $300,000. Additional cash inflows of $120,000 at current price levels are expected for three years, at the end of which time the machinery will be scrapped. The machinery will attract taxallowable depreciation of 25% on the RB basis, which can be claimed against taxable profits of the current year, which is soon to end. A balancing charge or allowance will arise on disposal. The tax rate is 50% and tax is payable 50% in the current year, 50% one year in arrears. The pre-tax cost of capital is 22% and the rate of inflation is 10%. Assume that the project is 100% debt financed.
