The Everly Equipment Company's flange-lipping machine was purchased 5 years ago for $65,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought and its remaining depreciation is $6,500 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life.
A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $150,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $35,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%.
The old machine can be sold today for $40,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%, and the appropriate cost of capital is 15%.

Problem 1: If the new flange-lipper is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Cash outflow, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.

Problem 2: If the new flange-lipper is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Cash outflow, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.

Problem 3: What are the incremental net cash flows that will occur at the end of Years 1 through 5?
