Average Rate of Return, The expected period of time that will elapse between the date of a capital expenditure and the complete recovery in cash (or equivalent) of the amount invested.Cash Payback Period, A method of analysis of proposed capital investments that focuses on the present value of the cash flows expected from the investments.Net Present Value Method for a Service Company

Spanish Peaks Railroad Inc. is considering acquiring equipment at a cost of $110,000. The equipment has an estimated life of 10 years and no residual value. It is expected to provide yearly net cash flows of $55,000. The company's minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 15%.
