The cash flow for year 2 is calculated as follows:  1. Calculate annual depreciation: $280,000 / 4 = $70,000.  2. Calculate taxable income: $580,000 (sales) - $420,000 (expenses) - $70,000 (depreciation) = $90,000.  3. Calculate tax: $90,000 * 35% = $31,500.  4. Calculate net income: $90,000 - $31,500 = $58,500.  5. Add back depreciation (non-cash expense): $58,500 + $70,000 = $128,500.  Thus, the total cash flow net of income taxes in year 2 is $128,500.
