(a) Payback period = Initial cash outlay / Net cash inflow per year
= $ 140,000 / $ 51,870
= 2.699 i.e. 2.7 years
(b) Unadjusted rate of return is calculated by dividing increase in future income by initial investment. The word unadjusted means that it does not take into consideration the time value of money.
Average cost of the investment = $ 140,000 /2 = $ 70,000
Increase in future net income = $ 51,870 - ($ 140,000 / 5yrs) = $ 23,870
Unadjusted rate of return = Increase in future net income / Average cost of the investment
= $ 23,870/ $ 70,000 * 100
= 34.1%
Depreciation is a non-cash expense and has therefore been ignored while calculating the payback period of the project. However, the same has been considered as a deduction while calculating the unadjusted rate of return.
