AFB Corp needs to replace an old lathe with a new, more efficient model. The old lathe was
purchased for $50,000 nine years ago and has a current book value of $5,000.
(The old machine is
being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a ten-year useful life.) The new lathe costs $100,000.
It will cost the company $10,000 to get the new lathe to the factory and get it installed. The old
machine will be sold as scrap metal for $2,000. The new machine is also being depreciated on a
straight-line basis over ten years. Sales are expected to increase by $8,000 per year while operating
expenses are expected to decrease by $12,000 per year. AFB's marginal tax rate is 40%. Additional
working capital of $3,000 is required to maintain the new machine and higher sales level. The new
lathe is expected to be sold for $5,000 at the end of the project's ten-year life. What is the
incremental free cash flow during years 2 through 10 of the project?
A) $15,800 B) $14,400 C) $16,400 D) $13,600
