The old machine has a carrying amount of $10,000 [$15,000 cost---S ($15,000 cost +15 years) depreciation]. The loss on the sale is $4,000 ($10,000--- $6,000 cash received), and the tax savings from the loss is $1,600 ($4,000 x 40%). Thus, total inflows are $7,600 The only outflow is the $25,000 purchase price of the new machine. The net cash investment is therefore $17,400 ($25,000--- $7,600).
