The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $82,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 14% on all investment projects. (Ignore income taxes.) 19. Required information Required: Compute the net present value of the project by inputting the variables that are entered into your calculator / Excel. (If a variable is not used in the calculation, input a zero (0). Omit the "$" and "%" signs in your response.) Round your answer to the nearest dollar and use a minus sign for negative numbers. Excel / calculator input: Interest Rate (Rate, I, I/YR) % Nper, N PMT $ PV $ FV $ Net Present Value (NPV) $ Required: Compute the internal rate of return of the project by inputting the variables that are entered into your calculator / Excel. (If a variable is not used in the calculation, input a zero (0). Omit the "$" and "%" signs in your response.) Round your answer to one decimal place and use a minus sign for negative numbers. Excel / calculator input: Interest Rate (Rate, I, I/YR) % Nper, N PMT $ PV $ FV $ Internal Rate of Return (IRR) %
