Free Cash Flow for the Year 0

Free Cash Flow for the Year 0 = Cost of the Machine + Transportation + Installation Charges

= - $10,400,000 - $48,000

= - $10,448,000

Free cash flows for the Years 1 - 5

Incremental free cash flows =

[ (Annual Sales - Costs) x (1 - Tax Rate) ] + [Depreciation x Tax Rate]

= [ ($4,200,000 - $1,100,000) x (1 - 0.35) ] + [ ($10,448,000 / 5 Years) x 0.35]

= [$3,100,000 x 0.65] + [$2,089,600 x 0.35]

= $2,015,000 + $731,360

= $2,746,360

Therefore the The free cash flow for year 0 will be $ - 10,448,000 and the free cash flow for years 1-5 will be $2,746,360
