proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck for $300,000. The truck falls into the MACRS 5-year class, and it will be sold after 5 years for $55,000. Use of the truck will require an increase in NWC (spare parts inventory) of $5,500. The truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $66,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 30 percent. What will the cash flows for this project be during year 3?
