Explanation:
The payback period calculates the amount of time taken to recoup the initial investment made in a project or in the purchase of a machine or building. It calculates how long the cumulative cash flow generated from a project equals the cost of the project.
The payback period for both machines are zero years because the cumulative cash flow is less than the cost of the machine.
For machine A - cumulative cash flow- $-47,000 is less than -$71,000
For machine B - cumulative cash flow, -$7,000 is less than -$52,000

Answer:
Precious metals should accept the project
Explanation:
To determine which company should accept the project, one has to calculate the net present value.
The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator:
Cash flow in year 0 =
Cash flow each year from year one to ten =
For Deep Mining ,
I = 16.7%
NPV = $39,096.09
Precious Metals,
I = 12.6%
NPV = $83,144.67
Precious metals should accept the project because its npv is postive.
To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
