The benefits of the new system are expected to come from a few sources: data consistency, increased integration with suppliers, and improved security. These benefits are estimated to be $62,000 in the first year of the systems operation and will grow at a rate of 10% each year thereafter. An additional benefit from the system is based on lower inventory levels (due to improved integration). Savings from lower inventory levels are expected to be $30,000 per year for each year of the projects life. Using a format similar to the cost-benefit analysis spreadsheet that summarizes this projects cash flow and assuming a five-year useful life after the project is developed, develop a cost-benefit analysis of the project. Compute the present value of the cash flows using an interest rate of 9%.
