You're evaluating a new electron microscope for the QA (quality assurance) unit. The microscope will cost $22,000 to buy and another $2,000 to install, and will be sold for $1,800 after 3 years. It falls into the 3-year MACRS class, with depreciation rates as follows:

The microscope will require an inventory of spare parts worth $5,000. The equipment will not increase revenue, but will save the company $12,000 in labor costs each year.

Your company's marginal tax rate (federal plus state) is 34% and the appropriate cost of capital for this project is 11%.

What is the incremental cash flow in year 1, year 2, and year 3?
