An investment project provides cash inflows of $645 per year for eight years.What is the project payback period if the initial cost is $1,800?What is the project payback period if the initial cost is $3,500?What is the project payback period if the initial cost is $5,300? to calculate the payback period, we need to find the time that the project has recovered its initial investment. The cash flows in this problem are an annuity, so the calculation is simpler. If the initial cost is $1,800, the payback period is: Payback = 2 + ($510 / $645) = 2.79 years*There is a shortcut to calculate the payback period when the future cash flows are an annuity. Just divide the initial cost by the annual cash flow. For the $3,500 cost, the payback period is: Payback = $3,500 / $645 = 5.43 years*The payback period for an initial cost of $5,300 is a little trickier. Notice that the total cash inflows after eight years will be: Total cash inflows = 8($645) = $5,160 If the initial cost is $5,300, the project never pays back. Notice that if you use the shortcut for annuity cash flows, you get: Payback = $5,300 / $645 = 8.22 years This answer does not make sense since the cash flows stop after eight years, so again, we must conclude the payback period is never. 0 years*
An investment project has annual cash inflows of $4,100, $5,000, $6,200, and $5,400, for the next four years, respectively. The discount rate is 14 percent. What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $6,800? What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $8,900? What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $11,900? Explanation:When we use discounted payback, we need to find the value of all cash flows today. The value today of the project cash flows for the first four years is: Value today of Year 1 cash flow = $4,100 / 1.14 = $3,596.49Value today of Year 2 cash flow = $5,000 / 1.142 = $3,847.34Value today of Year 3 cash flow = $6,200 / 1.143 = $4,184.82Value today of Year 4 cash flow = $5,400 / 1.144 = $3,197.23 To find the discounted payback, we use these values to find the payback period. The discounted first year cash flow is $3,596.49, so the discounted payback for a $6,800 initial cost is: Discounted payback = 1 + ($6,800 – 3,596.49) / $3,847.34 = 1.83 years For an initial cost of $8,900, the discounted payback is: Discounted payback = 2 + ($8,900 – 3,596.49 – 3,847.34) / $4,184.82 = 2.35 years Notice the calculation of discounted payback. We know the payback period is between two and three years, so we subtract the discounted values of the Year 1 and Year 2 cash flows from the initial cost. This is the numerator, which is the discounted amount we still need to make to recover our initial investment. We divide this amount by the discounted amount we will earn in Year 3 to get the fractional portion of the discounted payback. If the initial cost is $11,900, the discounted payback is: Discounted payback = 3 + ($11,900 – 3,596.49 – 3,847.34 – 4,184.82) / $3,197.23 = 3.08 years –> 1.83–> 2.35–> 3.08
You’re trying to determine whether to expand your business by building a new manufacturing plant. The plant has an installation cost of $12.5 million, which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its four-year life. If the plant has projected net income of $1,904,300, $1,957,600, $1,926,000, and $1,379,500 over these four years, what is the project’s average accounting return (AAR)? Our definition of AAR is the average net income divided by the average book value. The average net income for this project is: Average net income = ($1,904,300 + 1,957,600 + 1,926,000 + 1,379,500) / 4 = $1,791,850 And the average book value is: Average book value = ($12,500,000 + 0) / 2 = $6,250,000 So, the AAR for this project is: AAR = Average net income / Average book valueAAR = $1,791,850 / $6,250,000AAR = .2867, or 28.67%
An investment project has annual cash inflows of $4,100, $5,000, $6,200, and $5,400, for the next four years, respectively. The discount rate is 14 percent. What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $6,800? …
