Chаllenging Fаbiо is the finаnce оffice at a lоcal, for-profit hospital. He is determining if the firm should purchase a new piece of equipment that they currently rent from a medical device supplier. To do this, he wants to determine the minimum cost savings the equipment needs to create to "pay for itself" (i.e., the cost savings that set the NPV of the equipment equal to zero). The equipment has an initial cost of $[ICx],000 and will be straight-line depreciated to zero over ten years. After 10 years, the market value of the equipment will be 5 percent of the equipment's initial cost. The equipment will require the firm immediately invest $[dNWCx],000 in new net working capital, which they will be able to fully recover at the end of the project. The equipment will not impact the hospital's revenues. The hospital requires a return of [Rx] percent on such investments and the hospital has a 21 percent tax rate. What is the annual pre-tax cost savings required for the equipment to have an NPV of exactly zero? (Enter your answer rounded to the nearest $0.01. You savings should be a positive number)
