Explanation / Answer

cash flow for year 0 = -254000 -104000 = 358000


cash flow for year1 = 604000-254000-36296.6-109796.19 + 36296.6 = 240203.81


cash flowfor year 2 = 604000-254000-62204.6 -100728.39+62204.6 = 249271.61


cash floefor year 3 = 604000 -254000 -44424.6-106951.39+44424.6+104000+75000 = 422048.61
