A company’s managers are considering investing in a project that has an expected life of five years. The project is expected to generate a positive net present value of $240,000 when cash flows are discounted at 12 per cent per annum. The project’s expected cash flows include a cash inflow of $120,000 in each of the five years. No tax is payable on projects of this type.

Required:

Calculate the percentage decrease, to the nearest 0.1 per cent, in the annual cash inflow that would cause the managers to reject the project from a financial perspective.
