Answer 1

		CALCULATION OF ANNUAL FREE CASH FLOW
	A	Sales revenue	$1,400,000	(1000*$1400)
	B	Cash expense to produce	$1,000,000	(1000*$1000)
	C	Depreciation expense	$60,000
	D	Interest expense	$27,200
	E=A-B-C-D	Income before taxes	$312,800
	F=E*0.38	Taxes	$118,864
	G=E-F	Income after taxes	$193,936
		Add:Non cash expense (depreciation)	$60,000
		Total annual free cash flow for 10years	$253,936
		Present Value Factor=(((1+i)^N)-1)/(i*((1+i)^N))
		Assuming discount rate=8%=0.08
		i=0.08,N=10
		Present Value Factor=((1.08^10)-1)/(0.08*(1.08^10))=	6.710081399
	H	Present value(PV) of annualfree cash flow	$1,703,931	(253936*6.71008199)
	I	Initial Cash Flow	$        (260,000)	(600000-340000)
		Terminalcash Flow after 10years	($340,000)	(Return of Loan principal)
	J	PV of TerminalCash Flow	$        (157,486)	(-340000/(1.08^10)
