Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $663,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its six-year life. It will be worth $52,000 at the end of that time. You will save $172,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $47,000 at the beginning of the project. Working capital will revert back to normal at the end of the project.
Required: If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the IRR for this project?
