    The answer is $12,297.

    Explanation:

    Denote x is the minimum amount of after-tax annual savings (including depreciation effects) needed to make the investment yield a 12% return.

    As required in the question, at $X annual after-tax saving, the net present value of the project discounted at the required return 12% will be equal to 0. So, we have:

    - Net initial investment + Present value of cash inflow from asset disposal in 5-year + Present value of 5 after-tax annual savings = 0 - 50,000 + 10,000 x 0.567 + X x 3.605 = 0 3.605X = 44,330 X = $12,297 (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).

    Thus, the answer is $12,297.
