The incremental cash flow from selling the machine is $738,657

Explanation:

In order to calculate the incremental cash flow from selling the machine we would have to calculate the following formula:

incremental cash flow = sale price - (sale price - book value) * tax

Book value = $1,150,000 - $1,150,000/7*3

Book value = $657,142.86

Therefore, incremental cash flow = $793,000 - ($793,000-$657,142.86) * 40%

incremental cash flow = $738,657

The incremental cash flow from selling the machine is $738,657
