A potential investment has a cost of $542,500 and a useful life of 7 years. Annual cash sales from the investment are expected to be $225,225 and annual cash operating expenses are expected to be $88,725. The expected salvage value at the end of the investment's life is $70,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation for all assets based on the full cost of the assets.   The company has a before-tax discount rate of 17%, an after-tax discount rate of 14%, and a tax rate of 40%. 1. Assume the company wants to consider this investment before-tax. (Round dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar and IRR to one decimal place (i.e. .055 = 5.5%). Enter negative amounts with a minus sign.)   2. Assume the company wants to consider this investment after-tax. (Round dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar and IRR to one decimal place (i.e. .055 = 5.5%). Enter negative amounts with a minus sign.)

Scholastic Co. is evaluating a machine with an initial cost of $450,000 and a five-year life that costs $85,000 per year to operate (assume sales = $0).  The firm uses straight-line depreciation; the applicable discount rate is 9%.  The machine will have a salvage value of $100,000 at the end of the project's life. The firm has a tax rate of 21%. Note: do not include the salvage value when calculating the annual depreciation expense. Calculate the operating cash flow in year 1. (Enter a negative value)
