METL is evaluating a project projected to have a 7-year life.  The initial investment of $4.2 million will be depreciated to zero using straight-line over the project life.  The project is expected to create incremental sales of $2.4 million per year and incremental expenses of $1.4 million per year.  What is the incremental after-tax operating cash flow (OCF) associated with this project if METL's tax rate is 32%? Enter answer in dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.

IronZee Industries is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $1,268,000. It is estimated this investment will have a 10-year life and will generate net cash inflows of $296,000 the first year, $266,000 during the second year, and $235,000 each year thereafter for 8 years. The project will have $0.00 residual value. Compute the ARR for the investment. (Round your answers to two decimal places when needed and use rounded answers for all future calculations). IronZee Industries Total net cash inflows during operation life of expansion Less: Total depreciation during operating life of expansion Total operating income during operating life Divide by: expansions operating life in years Average annual operating income from expansion (Amount Invested + Residual Value) / 2 / 2 = = / Average amount Invested Average annual operating income / Average amount invested = = ARR (%)
