Question

Calculate Cash Flows

Nature’s Way Inc. is planning to invest in new manufacturing equipment to make a new garden tool. The garden tool is expected to generate additional annual sales of 5,100 units at $50 each. The new manufacturing equipment will cost $104,900 and is expected to have a 10-year life and $8,000 residual value. Selling expenses related to the new product are expected to be 4% of sales revenue. The cost to manufacture the product includes the following on a per-unit basis:

Direct labor		$8.5
Direct materials		27.8
Fixed factory overhead-depreciation		1.9
Variable factory overhead		4.3
	Total	$42.5

Determine the net cash flows for the first year of the project, Years 2–9, and for the last year of the project. Use the minus sign to indicate cash outflows. Do not round your intermediate calculations but, if required, round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
