Answer 1

Answer:

Option A,-$553,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of initial cash flow for this project comprises of current value of the land,the current value of unused equipment,the amount expected to be spent on equipment modifications as well as the cost of other equipment.

Initial cash flows=$357,900+$29,000+$8,200+$157,900=$553,000

The equipment as well as the land are included because they can be sold at their current prices thereby realizing cash proceeds.

Also,the current values show how much would have  to pay now to acquire them should be need arises.
