Martin is working to develop a preliminary costAc?obenefit analysis for a system. He has identified a number of cost factors and values for the new system, summarized in the following tables:
??Personnel
2 Systems Analysts 400 hours/ea @ $50/hour =
4 Programmer Analysts 250 hours/ea @ $35/hour
1 GUI Designer 200 hours/ea @ $40/hour

The benefits of the new system are expected to come from two sources: increased sales and lower inventory levels. Sales are expected to increase by $60000 in the first year of the systemAc?cs operation and will grow at a rate of 10% each year thereafter. Savings from lower inventory levels are expected to be$15,000 per year for each year of the projectAc?cs life.
Using a format similar to the spreadsheets in this chapter, develop a spreadsheet that summarizes this projectAc?cs cash flow, assuming a after the project is developed. Compute the present value of the cash flows, using an interest rate of 6%.
1. What is the NPV for this project?
2. What is the ROI for this project?
3. What is the break-even point? Should this project be accepted by the approval committee?
