years

Answer 1

The Average rate of return is 35%.

The cash payback period is 4.10 years.

What is the average rate of return?

Average rate of return is a capital budgeting method. It is used to determine if a firm should invest in a project or should not invest in a project

Average rate of return = average net income / average cost of investment

average net income =$570,720 / 6 = $95,120

Average cost of investment =( beginning book value of the investment - ending book value of the investment) / 2

(603,500 - 52,500) / 2 = $275,500

Average rate of return = ($95,120 /  $275,500) x 100 = 35%

What is the cash payback period?

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows

Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow

Payback period = 123,000 / 30,000 =  4.10 years
