Answer:

The level of pretax cost savings we require for this project to be profitable is $203272.65

Explanation:

investment in fixed assets + investment in NWC = pretax cost savings*(1-t)*PVIFA(R%,n) + PV of dep tax shield + PV of salvage  + PC of NWC

let a be the pretax cosy savings, then:

835000 + 95000 = a*(1-0.25)*3.69589702 + 170786.28 + 64537.83 + 56377.88

930000 = 2.771922765*a + 291701.99

2.771922765*a = 638298.01

a = $230272.65

Therefore, The level of pretax cost savings we require for this project to be profitable is $203272.65.
