Hello! I am having difficulty trying to figure out the answer for the "Present value of cash outflows" and "Net present value". Both of these are located at the very bottom of my page. Below is the information that was provided for this question. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Factor Company is planning to add a new product to its line. To manufacture this product, the company needs to buy a new machine at a $507,000 cost with an expected four-year life and a $15,000 salvage value. All sales are for cash, and all costs are out-of-pocket, except for depreciation on the new machine. Additional information includes the following. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Expected annual sales of new product	$	1,850,000
Expected annual costs of new product
Direct materials		485,000
Direct labor		670,000
Overhead (excluding straight-line depreciation on new machine)		337,000
Selling and administrative expenses		155,000
Income taxes		34	%

Required: 1. Compute straight-line depreciation for each year of this new machines life. 2. Determine expected net income and net cash flow for each year of this machines life. 3. Compute this machines payback period, assuming that cash flows occur evenly throughout each year. 4. Compute this machines accounting rate of return, assuming that income is earned evenly throughout each year. 5. Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 6% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end. (Hint: Salvage value is a cash inflow at the end of the assets life.)

Compute the net present value for this machine using a discount rate of 6% and assuming that cash flows occur at each year-end. (Hint: Salvage value is a cash inflow at the end of the assets life.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Amounts to be deducted should be indicated by a minus sign.)

	Chart Values are Based on: n = 4 i = 6 % Cash Flow Select Chart Amount x PV Factor = Present Value Annual cash flow Present Value of an Annuity of 1 $175,800 x 3.4651 = $609,165 Residual value Present Value of 1 $15,000 x 0.7921 = 11,882 Present value of cash inflows $621,047 Present value of cash outflows Net present value
