Bramble Industries is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $1,430,000 to replace existing equipment that will be sold for $157,000. The new equipment is expected to have a $203,000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year life. During the period of its use, the equipment will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 34,800 units annually at a sales price of $30 per unit. Those units will have a variable cost of $14 per unit. The company will also incur an additional $87,000 in annual fixed costs. Identify the amount and timing of all cash flows related to the acquisition of the new equipment.

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
