New-Project Analysis The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,090,000, and it would cost another $21,000 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 $587,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $13,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $493,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%. Cash outflows, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

What is the Year-0 net cash flow?

What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3?

Year 1: $

Year 2: $

Year 3: $

What is the additional Year 3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? $

If the project's cost of capital is 13 %, what is the NPV of the project? $

Should the machine be purchased?
