62) Hinger Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require investing
$120,000 in equipment with an expected life of 4 years and zero salvage value. Annual
incremental sales would be $350,000 and annual incremental cash operating expenses would be
$250,000. The project would also require an immediate investment in working capital of $10,000
which would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The project would also require
a one-time renovation cost of $40,000 in year 3. The company’s income tax rate is 35% and its

C) $51,000
