The firm estimates that the new machine will increase the sales revenue of the firm by $ 1 500 000 in each of the next 5 years. The COGS is estimated to be 40% of the sales revenue. The general and administrative costs are estimated to be 10% of the sales revenue. The firm uses 5-year straight line depreciation and is allowed to write off $ 600 000 depreciation expense in each of the next 5 years. The firm is subject to a 20% tax rate. The firm also estimates that the new machine will lead to a $ 50 000 increase in inventories, $ 70 000 increase in accounts receivables and $ 20 000 increase in accounts payables receivables in 2021. There will be no change in NOWC (net operating working capital) in 2022 and 2023.
