a. |
What is the project payback period if the initial cost is $1,825? (Enter 0 if the project never pays back. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
b. | What is the project payback period if the initial cost is $3,550? (Enter 0 if the project never pays back. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
c. | What is the project payback period if the initial cost is $5,400? (Enter 0 if the project never pays back. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
Given
Annual even payment = $660
Payback period = Initial cost of the project /Annual cash inflows paid evenly
Project A = 1825/660 = 2.77
Project B = 3550/660 = 5.38
Project C = 5400/660 = 8.18
