es Problem 9-16 Project Evaluation [LO 2] Your firm is contemplating the purchase of a new $485,000 computer-based order entry system. The system will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 6-year life. It will be worth $63,000 at the end of that time. You will save $169,000 before taxes per year in order processing costs, and you will be able to reduce working capital by $46,000 at the beginning of the project. Working capital will revert back to normal at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the IRR for this project?

The system will last 4 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $21 million, it will last for 6 years. Both systems entail $2 million in operating costs; both will be depreciated straight-line to a final value of zero over their useful lives; neither will have any salvage value at the end of its life. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the discount rate is 13%. a. What is the equivalent annual cost of investing in the cheap system? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a positive value. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places. b. What is the equivalent annual cost of investing in the more expensive system?
