As the Initial Investment is $500,000, the Payback period is between 5th and 6th Year.
PayBack Period
= Completed Number of Years + (Cash Inflows to be recovered / Cash inflows for the next Year)
= 5 + (500,000 – 480,0000 / 96,000)
= 5.21 Years
The Payback period is 5.21 Years
As the company requires Payback period less than 5 years, the company should not consider this project.

Following are the steps to be followed on Microsoft Excel to calculate the IRR:
Step 1: Click on "FORMULAS" tab at the top of Microsoft
Excel
Step 2: Select the option "Financial"
Step 3: Under "Financial" select the option "IRR"
Step 4: Insert Values:
(-500000;96000;96000;96000;96000;96000;96000;96000;96000;96000;136000)
IRR = 14.57%
The Internal Rate of Return is 14.57%
Solution d) Calculation of Simple Rate of Return
Simple Rate of Return = Average Net Income / Investment x 100
= 50,000 / 500,000 x 100
= 10%
Simple Rate of Return for the Investment is
10%
If the company requires a simple rate of return of at
least 10%, will the games be purchased?
Yes. The games should be purchased as the project is earning return
of 10%
