1. Determine the average rate of return for a project that is
estimated to yield total income of $421,200 over four years, has a
cost of $720,900, and has a $89,100 residual value. Round to the
nearest whole number.
____ %
2. A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $54,000. It is estimated to cost $307,800.
Determine the cash payback period. If required, round your
answer to one decimal place.
____years
3. A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $6,250 for four years and is estimated to cost $42,500. Assume a minimum acceptable rate of return of 12%. Use the Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest table below.
