Gallatin, Inc., is considering an investment of $376,000 in an
asset with an economic life of 5 years. The firm estimates that the
nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first
year will be $256,000 and $81,000, respectively. Both revenues and
expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 2
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 $56,000 in nominal terms at that time.
The one-time net working capital investment of $15,500 is required
immediately and will be recovered at the end of the project. All
corporate cash flows are subject to a 34 percent tax rate.
What is the project’s total nominal cash flow from assets for each
year? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus
sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers
to the nearest whole dollar, e.g., 32.)
