Vitalife Pty Ltd is considering buying a new vitamin C extraction machine. The machine is estimated to cost $140,000 which can last for 7 years before it becomes too costly to maintain and can be sold for scrap at $20,000. The project is estimated to bring in additional $27,000 cash inflow and incur $12,000 in additional expenses related to the running the machine in the first year. The company expects there will be an annual sales growth of 6% from year 2 onward. Expenses are also expected to grow by 3% annually from the second year of the operation.

• The company plans to fund the purchase of the new machine using a bank loan with an interest rate of 11%.
