PLEASE SHOW WORK BY HAND.

The report was delivered one month ago and its cost was $60,000. The report suggested that the company should go ahead with the project subject to the company's more detailed financial analysis.

The machine falls in the MACRS 5-year class and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $60,000. At time 0, the project will also require an additional investment in inventory of $20,000 and account receivables of $10000, and accounts payable will also increase by $15000, every other current accounts remain the same. Except for this one time increase at time 0 of $20000, $10000, and $15000, respectively; the inventory, account receivable, and accounts payable levels will not change during the life of the project.
