It will be completely written off in FOUR years, at that time it will have zero resale value. We can sell it now for $410,000 after taxes. The new machine will save us $200,000 per year in operating costs. The tax rate (federal plus state) is 25 percent and WACC is 8 percent. What is the TOTAL FREE CASH FLOW FOR YEAR 4? Free cash flow = Total Initial Investment + Total annual project CF + Total Salvage Value 480,000 467,500 445,000 422,500
