A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $740,000. The device will be used in a five-year project but is classified as three-year MACRS property for tax purposes. The required initial net working capital investment is $57,000, the tax rate is 21 percent, and the project discount rate is 8 percent. The device has an estimated Year 5 salvage value of $88,000. What level of pretax cost savings do we require for this project to be profitable?

answer; im thinking the correct answer is (7years);

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable
