Explanation / Answer
Requirement (a) – 1
Payback Period = Initial Investment / Annual cash flow
= $2,200 / 570
= 3.86 years
Requirement (a) – 2
YES. The Project Should be accepted, Since the Project’s payback period is less than the required payback period of 4 years
Requirement (b) – 1
NPV at 3% Discount Rate
Net Present Value [NPV] = Present value of Annual cash flows – Initial investment
= $570[PVIFA 3%, 5years] - $2,200
= [$570 x 4.5797071] – 2,200
= $ 2610.43 – 2,200
= $410.43
Requirement (b) – 2
YES. The Project should be pursued, since the NPV is Positive $410.43
Requirement (b) – 3
NPV at 10% Discount Rate
Net Present Value [NPV] = Present value of Annual cash flows – Initial investment
= $570[PVIFA 10%, 5years] - $2,200
= [$570 x 3.790786769] – 2,200
= $ 2160.75 – 2,200
= -$39.25 [Negative NPV]
Requirement (b) – 4
NO. The Project should not be pursued, since the NPV is Negative -$39.25
Requirement (b) – 5
YES. The Firms decision will change as the discount rate changes.
