- The president of Real Time Inc. has asked you to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new computer. The computer's price is $40,000, and it falls into the MACRS 3-year class. Purchase of the computer would require an increase in net operating working capital of $2,000. The computer would increase the firm's before-tax revenues by $29,000 per year but would also increase operating costs by $18,000 per year. The computer is expected to be used for 3 years and then be sold for $25,000. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent, and the project's cost of capital is 14 percent.What is the operating cash flow in Year 2? Round it to a whole dollar, and do not include the $ sign.

The firm estimates that the nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first year will be $289,400 and $90,200, respectively. Both revenues and expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 5 percent. The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate its asset to zero over five years. The salvage value of the asset is estimated to be $71,000 in nominal terms at that time.

Use of this equipment would result in an increased net working capital of $4,000 over the life of the machine. The spectrometer would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $35,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor.
