Terminal Cash Flows:
- Is the last stage of a project’s cash flows re: the cash flows that will occur only at the project’s termination/ending.

By buying this machine, the company will incur additional yearly working capital requirements of $10,000. Calculate the terminal cash flows.

Terminal cash flows= Salvage value = $25,000 + working capital recovered of $10,000 = $35,000
