- Can you help in calculating the NPV for this ?  Consider the following data             -     A machine costs $600 today (year 0). Assume this investment is fully tax-deductible, as stipulated by the new US corporate tax code of 2018.             -      This company has current pre-tax profits from other projects that are greater than $600, so it can take full advantage of the investment tax break above in year 0.             -     The machine will generate operating profits before depreciation (EBITDA) of $312 per year for 5 years. The first cash flow happens one year after the machine is put in place (year 1).             -     Depreciation is not tax-deductible.
