Maintenance and operating costs for the new welder will amount to $2100 for the first year and will increase by $1000 each year that the welder is used. CCA depreciation will be used for tax purposes. The welding machine sales company has agreed to "buy the welder back" for $25,000, when the new contract is concluded after six years. The tax rate = 34%, the MARR is 12%, CCA=30%. Develop the cash flow/ investment including as many details as possible. What is the net cash flow over 6 years ?
