Please format answer into a table

Green House Tomato Company is considering the purchase of new processing equipment for $1,500,000, with an additional installation cost of $18,000. The new equipment will result in earnings before interest and taxes of $450,000 per year, and to operate the equipment properly, workers would have to go through an initial training session costing the company $50,000. In addition, because the equipment is extremely efficient, its purchase necessitates an increase in inventory of $90,000. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation, the equipment has an expected life of seven years, the equipment will have no salvage value, the marginal tax rate is 28 percent, and the company has a required rate of return of 12 percent.
