Kerfuffle Corporation is considering the purchase of a new computer system. The cost for the new system, net of set-up and delivery costs, will be $1.6 million. The new system will provide annual before-tax cost savings of $500,000 for the next five years. The increased efficiency of the new system will lower net working capital by $200,000 today. The CCA rate on the new system will be 30%. At the end of five years, the system can be salvaged for $100,000. The firm's required rate of return is 15%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%.
