It will be worth $62,000 at the end of that time. You will be able to reduce working capital by $87,000 (this is a one-time reduction). The tax rate is 24 percent and the required return on the project is 12 percent. If the pretax cost savings are $150,000 per year, what is the NPV of this project?
