Which project has no rate of return?
Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $1,683,500 computer-based order
entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 5-year life. It
will be worth $163,800 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital
by $227,500 (this is a one-time reduction). The tax rate is 23 percent and your required
return on the project is 17 percent and your pretax cost savings are $636,550 per year.
a. What is the NPV of this project?
NPV
b. What is the NPV if the pretax cost savings are $458,300 per year?
NPV
Will you accept or reject the project?
OAccept
○ Reject
At what level of pretax cost savings would you be indifferent between accepting the
project and not accepting it? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round
your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

LO3 NPV is the ratio of a project's present value to the amount of resources consumed in generating it. O NPV is the rate at which IRR equals $0.
