PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS SOLUTION HOW DID WE GET THE $83200? 
A firm is considering the purchase of a $300,000 computer-based inventory management system that would save the firm $130,000 in pretax income each year. With the help of this system, managing inventories more efficiently is expected to reduce net working capital by $40,000 (assume NWC reduction is at time 0, and NWC will go back to original level at end of year 4). The system has a CCA rate of 30% and is expected to last 4 years, at the end of which its salvage value is expected to be $30,000. The relevant tax rate is 36% and the required rate of return is 15%.
