Q (a).	Payback period
	Formula = Initial Cash Outflow / Annual Cash Outflow	35920/6240
Answer	Payback period	5.76 years

Q (b)	Annual Rate of Return

Step 4	Compute total return

	Total Return = Total cash flows from 1 to 7+ (Cash Flow for year 8+ salvage value)
=>	6240*7 + (6240+3330)
=>	Cash flow * 8 ( Step 3 - Row 9 : Total Cash Flows year 1 to 8)
=>	53,250.00

Step 5	Use formula for Annual Rate of Return

=>	(Annual Net Income / Average Investment)*100

i	Annual Net Income	2,166.25
ii	Average Investment (Initial Cost + Salvage Value)/2
=>	(35920+3330)	19,625
iii	*Answer : Annual Rate of Return (i/ii)100**	11.04%
