Answer:

payback period is lesser than 15 years we can say that they should buy the machine

so correct option is c. 4.8 years  

Explanation:

given data

Purchase Cost = $300,000

Savings offered = $62,500 per year

Life of machine = 15 years

to find out

Payback period

solution

first we get here Payback period that is express as

Payback period =  purchase cost ÷ savings   ...........1

put here value we get

Payback period = \frac{300000}{62500}

Payback period = 4.8 years

and here payback period is lesser than 15 years we can say that they should buy the machine

so correct option is c. 4.8 years

tatiyna

Answer:

a. The $7002.73 new annual net income is necessary to recover the  initial investment of the five GIS systems at the annual effective interest rate of 10%

b.   Since $6000 revenue is less than $7002.73 project is not viable financially.

Explanation:

a . Total initial cost = 4600*5

                                = $23000

Total Salvage Value = 300*5

                                   = $1500

Operating cost = $1000 with a gradient of $100.

PV of operating cost = 1000(P/A,5,10%) + 100(P/G,5,10%)

                                   = 1000(P/A,5,10%) + 100(P/A,5,10%)(A/G,5,10%)

                                   = 1000*3.7908 + 100*3.7908*1.8101

                                    = 3790.8 + 686.17

                                     = $4476.97

PV of salvage value = 1500(P/F,5,10%)

                                  =1500*0.6209

                                  = $931.35

NPV = -23000 - 4476.97 + 931.35

        = - $26545.62

annual revenue to get $26545 = 26545.62(A/P,5,10%)

                                                     = 26545.62*0.2638

                                                      = $7002.73

Annual Revenue = $7002.73

Therefore, The $7002.73 new annual net income is necessary to recover the initial investment of the five GIS systems at the annual effective interest rate of 10%

b.   Since $6000 revenue is less than $7002.73 project is not viable financially.
