Question

Che Answer each independent question, (a) through (e), below. a. Project A costs $5,000 and will generate annual after-tax net cash inflows of $1,800 for 5 years. What is the payback period for this investment under the assumption that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Project B costs $5,000 and will generate after-tax cash inflows of $500 in year 1: $1,200 in year 2, $2,000 in year 3; $2,500 in year 4; and $2,000 in year 5. What is the payback period (in years) for this investment assuming that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Project C costs $5,000 and will generate net cash inflows of $2,500 before taxes each year for 5 years.

Just looking for C and D2.

Answer 1

Answer for C:

Project Cost = $5000

Annual cash flow before tax = $2500

Cash flow after tax = $2500 - ($2500*25%) = $1875

Payback period = $5000 / $1875 = 2.67 years

Answer for D2:

Cash flows after Expenses = Cash inflow - Cash expenses - Depreciation

= $4000 - $1500 - $900 = $1600

Where, Depreciation = (5000-500)/5 = $900

Net cash flows after tax = $1600 - ($1600*25%) = $1200

Book rate of return = Net cash flows after tax / Original Investment x 100 = $1200/$5000 x 100 = 24%

Book rate of return = 24%
