Answer:
C) 4.2 years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is as follows;
As we know that
Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow
Here
Initial cost = $278000
Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year
where,
Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life
= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years
= $31,000
Annual net cash flow is
= $35000 + $31000
= $66000
So,
Payback Period is
= $278000 ÷ $66000
= 4.2 Years

Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Purchase value of the patent = $720,000
At the time of purchase, the patent life is 15 years

= $360,000
The five years is counted from the year 2006 to the year 2011
Explanation:
Looking from a fair point of view, the White owners of businesses have legitimate reasons to feel that the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination.
Remember, reverse discrimination implies an unfair treatment of the majority group (White owners) in an effort to please the minority group. This is evident from the fact that the 10 percent of all federal grants to be released by the Economic Development Administration was only to be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups excluding the White business owners; making the White owners feel discriminated against.
Thus, unintentionally the Act became a reverse discrimination on White business owners.
