Cost of new equipment and timbers $ 320,000
Working capital required $ 195,000
Annual net cash receipts $ 130,000 *
Cost to construct new roads in year three $ 59,000
Salvage value of equipment in four years $ 84,000

*Receipts from sales of ore, less out-of-pocket costs for salaries, utilities, insurance, and so forth.
