b) (3+1+3) You are considering a new investment project, which lasts for three years. The project requires a purchase of a new machine, which costs $300,000. This initial investment can be depreciated to zero over the next three years according to a straight line depreciation rule. The machine has no salvage value at the end. Operating revenue is projected to be $200,000 per year. Operating costs for raw materials are $50,000 The corporate tax rate is 30% and the risk-adjusted...
