Bridgeport Industries is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $1,280,000 to replace existing equipment that will be sold for $194,000. The new equipment is expected to have a $220,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year life. During the period of its use, the equipment will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 32,800 units annually at a sales price of $29 per unit. Those units will have a variable cost of $15 per unit. The company will also incur an additional $86,000 in annual fixed costs. Identify the amount and timing of all cash flows related to the acquisition of the new equipment.
