Answer:

A. 2.2 years

B. 3.6 years

Explanation:

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

Payback = amount invested / annual cash flows

Payback period is calculated using cash flows. So, the net income has to be changed to cash flows by adding back depreciation.

For the first machine

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - salvage value) / number of years

( $520,000 - $10,000) / 6 = $85,000

Cash flow = $85,000 + $150,000 = $235,000

For the second machine, depreciation = ( $380,000 - $20,000) / 8 = $45,000

Cash flow = $45,000 + $60,000 = $105,000

Payback period for machine a = $520,000 / $235,000 = 2.2 years

Pay back period For machine b =

$380,000 / $105,000 = 3.6 years

Svetach [21]

Answer: the market supply to shift inward, driving the equilibrium price higher.

Explanation:

An increase in input prices will result into a rise in the production costs. This will result in a leftward shift of the supply curve.
