Jan Booth is considering investing in either a storage facility or a car wash facility. Both projects have a five-year life and require an investment of $390,000. The cash flow patterns for each project are given below.
Storage facility: Even cash flows of $190,000 per year
Car wash: $112,800, $143,300, $61,000, $125,000, and $99,000
Required:
1. Calculate the payback period for the storage
facility (even cash flows). Round your answer to one decimal
place.
years
2. Calculate the payback period for the car wash facility (uneven cash flows). Round your answer to three decimal places
Payback period is the time period in which the original investment is recovered
1.Payback period in case of even cash flows = Original investment/Annual cash flows
= 390,000/190,000
= 2.1 years
2.For uneven cash flows:

Payback period = 3 + (390,000-317,100)/125,000
= 3.5832
