Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $2,109,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It will be worth $205,200 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital by $285,000 (this is a one-time reduction).

Requirement 2:What is the NPV if the pretax cost savings are $953,300 per year?

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