Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost
of $904,800. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the
project’s 9-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped
for $139,200. The sausage system will save the firm $278,400 per year in
pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net
working capital of $64,960. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount
rate is 11 percent, the NPV of this project is $_______________.
Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $1,764,000 computerbased order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to

You will save $693,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs and

you will be able to reduce working capital by $139,499 (this is a one-time
reduction). If the tax rate is 33 percent, the IRR for this project is
