Using the data, calculate the following cash flows associated with the project: (1) Net initial investment outlay; (2) Net operating cash flows (NOCF) (3) Net Salvage value.

Net initial investment outlay:

-I_o – W –(1-t)E₀ + [S_o – t(S₀-B₀] + I_c

Net operating cash flow:

(1-t)(R – C) + t(D)

Net salvage value:

S – t(S – B) – (1 – t)REX + W
