Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The payback period for this project is 2.43 years.

Explanation:

Elmer Sporting Goods is getting ready to produce a new line of golf clubs by investing $1.85 million.

The investment will result in additional cash flows of $525,000, $812,500, and 1,200,000 over the next three years.

The payback period is the time it takes to cover the investment to be covered by returns.

The investment cost remaining in the first year

= $1,850,000 - $525,000

= $1,325,000

The investment cost remaining in the second year

= $1,325,000 - $812,500

= $512,500

The third year payback

= \frac{\$ 512,500}{\$ 1,200,000}

= 0.427

The total payback period

= 2.43 years
