- controlling the distribution process that is, owning and controlling the warehousing and delivery of their products etc.
Answer:
The Silverside Company
Project 1's Payback Period
= Initial Investment/Annual cash flows
= $400,000 / $90,000
= 4.44 years.
Explanation:
Project 1:
Initial Investment = $400,000
Useful life = 5 years
Annual cash inflows for useful life = $90,000
The Silverside Company's payback period calculates the time or number of years that it would take the company to recover from its initial investment in Project 1. This is the simple payback period calculation. There is also the discounted payback period calculation. This method discounts the annual cash inflows to their present values before the calculation is carried out. This second method gives a present value perspective on the issue.
