Problem $9-16$ Project Evaluation $[$LO $2]$

Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $$410,000$ computer$-$based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight$-$line to zero over its $5-$year life. It will be worth $$39,000$ at the end of that time. You will save $$137,000$ before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $$38,000$ at the beginning of the project. Working capital will revert back to normal at the end of the project. If the tax rate is $23$ percent, what is the IRR for this project?

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.$
