The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $830,000, and it would cost another $19,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $511,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $17,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $442,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%.

AFN equation
Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 20% from $8.6 million in 2016 to $10.32 million in 2017. Its assets totaled $3 million at the end of 2016. Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2016, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 5%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 60%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not round intermediate calculations.

You are considering an option to purchase or rent a single residential property. You can rent it for $4,000 per month and the owner would be responsible for maintenance, property insurance, and property taxes.
Alternatively, you can purchase this property for $300,000 and finance it with an 80% mortgage at 7% interest, 25 year - fixed. The loan can be prepaid at any time with no penalty.
You have done research in the market and found that properties have historically appreciated at an annual rate of 4% per year. Rents on similar properties have also increased at the same rate. Maintenance and insurance are currently $2,500 each per year and they have been increasing at a rate of 4% per year. Property taxes have generally been about 3% of the property value each year.
If you purchase, the plan is to occupy the property for at least four years. Selling costs would be 7% in the year of sale.
