Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $1,295,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $126,000 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital by $175,000 (this is a one-time reduction). The tax rate is 32 percent and your required return on the project is 24 percent and your pretax cost savings are $617,950 per year.

Requirement 1: What is the NPV of this project?

Requirement 2: What is the NPV if the pretax cost savings are $444,950 per year?

Requirement 3: At what level of pretax cost savings would you be indifferent between accepting the project and not accepting it?
