Flower unlimited is considering purchasing an additional delivery truck that will have seven-year useful life. The new truck will cost $42,000. Cost savings with this truck are expected to be $12,800 for the first two years, $8,900fo the following two years, and $5000 for the last three years of the truck’s useful life. What is the payback period for this project? What is discounted payback period for this project with a discount rate of 10 percent?
please provide formula
Payback period= Full years until recovery + unrecovered cost at the start of the year/cash flow during the year
Payback method= 3 years + $7,500/ $8,900
= 3 years+ 0.84
= 3.84 years.
Discounted payback method= 6 years + 1,092.67/ 2,565.68
= 6 years + 0.43
= 6.43 years.
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
