Answer #1

CALCULATE PAYBACK PERIOD :

PAYBACK PERIOD = INTIAL INVESTMENT/ANNUAL CASH FLOW

PROJECT AA          = 2 YEAR+6000/15000   = 2.4 YEARS

PROJECT BB          = 22000/9500 = 2.32 YEARS

PROJECT CC           = 2 YEAR+1000/9000 = 2.11 YEARS

MOST DESIREABLE PROJECT IS PROJECT CC

LEASE DESIRABLE PROJECT IS PROJECT AA

BUT ACCORDING TO COMPANY'S POLICY THERE SHOULD NOT ACCEPTED ANY PROJECT BECAUSE ALL PROJECT'S PAYBACK IS OVER 2 YEARS
