The production department is proposing the purchase of an automatic insertion machine. It has identified 3 machines and has asked the accountant to analyze them to determine the best cash payback.
| Machine A | Machine B | Machine C | |
| Annual cash flow | $40,000 | $50,000 | $75,000 |
| Average investment | $300,000 | $250,000 | $500,000 |
a.Machine C
b.Machine A
c.Machine B
d.All of these choices are equal.
Homework Answers
Payback period=Average investment/Annual cash flows
| A | B | C | |
| Payback period | (300,000/40000)=7.5 years | (250000/50,000)=5 years | (500,000/75000)=6.67 years(Approx) |
Hence B is the best machine in terms of lowest payback period.
