Answer #1

A. Cashflows per annum => Revenues - expenses actually paid. So, 967000 - 675000 = 292000.

B. For payback purpose we ignore Depreciation as it's a noncash item.

So, payback period = Initial Outlay/Cashflow per annum

= 900,000/292000 (from above)

= 3.08 Years or 3years, 1month.

C. ROA = Net income/initial outlay*100

Ie., 67000/900000*100 = 7.44%

D. Annual rate 10%. Useful life = 4 years

So PV of Cash Inflows => 292000*(PV factor for 4 years @ 10%) ie., similar 292000*3.170 = 925600.

E. So NPV of Project = PV OF Cash Inflows - initial capital outlay ie., 925600 - 900000 = +25600.
