Company A may buy a testing equipment costing $80,000. This equipment is expected to reduce labor costs of the clinical staff by $25,000 annually. The equipment has a useful life of five years and falls in the MACRS three-year property class for cost recovery (depreciation) purposes. Salvage value of $3,000 is expected at the end of the useful life. The corporate tax rate for Company A (combined federal and state) is 28%, and its required rate of return is 15%. (If profits after taxes on the project are negative in any year, the firm will offset the loss against other firm income for that year.) On the basis of this information, what is the ATCF at the end of year 1?
