The applicable depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%.
The project is expected to operate for 4 years, at which it will be terminated. The cash inflows are assumed to begin 1 year after the project is undertaken, or at t=1, and to continue out to t=4. At the end of the project's life(t=4), the equipment is expected to have a slavage value of $25,000.
