Accounting

Green lab plans to purchase a new centrifuge machine for it's Florida facility. The machine costs $382,000 and is expected to have a useful life of 10 years, with terminal disposal value of $47,000. Savings in cash operating costs are expected to be $79,000 per year. However, additional working capital is needed to keep the machine running efficiently. The working capital must continually be replaced, so an investment of $22,000 needs to be maintained at all times, but the investment is fully recoverable (will be "cashed in") at the end of the useful life. Green labs required rate of return is 12%. Ignore income taxes in your analysis. Assume all cash flows occur at year-end except for initial investment amounts. Green lab uses straight-line depreciation for it's machines.
