Required:
1. Calculate the payback period for each product.
2. Calculate the net present value for each product.
3. Calculate the internal rate of return for each product.
4. Calculate the project profitability index for each product.
5. Calculate the simple rate of return for each product.
6a. For each measure, identify whether Product A or Product B is preferred.
6b. Based on the simple rate of return, Lou Barlow would likely:
Product A | Product B | ||||
1 | Payback period | = | 2.74 | 2.87 | |
2 | Net Present Value | = | $ 30,884 | $ 22,308 | |
