Company A is trying to determine whether to replace an existing asset. The proposed asset has a purchase price of $50,000 and has installation costs of $3,000. The asset will be depreciated over its five year life using the simplified straight-line method. The new asset is expected to increase sales by $17,000 and non-depreciation expenses by $2,000 annually over the life of the asset. Due to the increase in sales, the firm expects an increase in working capital of $1,500, and the firm expects to be able to sell the asset for $6,000 at the end of its life. The existing asset was originally purchased three years ago for $25,000, has a remaining life of 5 years, and is being the asset depreciated using the simplified straight-line method. The expected salvage value at the end of the asset's life is $5,000; however, the current sale price of the existing asset is $20,000, and it's current book value is $15,625. Company A is in the 34% marginal tax bracket and has a required rate of return of 12%. Please show your calculations.

b. What are the free cash flows generated by this project each other?
c. What is the terminal cash flow?
