Answer:

a. 3 years and 3 years

b. either company can be selected

Explanation:

a. In the payback, we analyze how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

= Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

For Electric Co.

In year 0 = $100,000

In year 1 = $70,000

In year 2 = $15,000

In year 3 = $15,000

In year 4 to 10 = $10,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $100,000 which is equal to the initial investment

So, the payback period equal to

= $100,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3 years

In 3 years, the invested amount is recovered.

For Water Works

In year 0 = $100,000

In year 1 = $15,000

In year 2 = $15,000

In year 3 = $70,000

In year 4 to 10 = $10,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $100,000 which is equal to the initial investment

So, the payback period equal to

= $100,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3 years

In 3 years, the invested amount is recovered.

b. Since both the companies has same payback period so either company can be selected

Explanation:

Also, one should consider the availability of job, the skills, abilities that one has and the future prospects of the job.

Furthermore, we all have something we value about careers and our opinions regarding that might be different.

Therefore, the correct option is "There are many careers that would support your well-being. Career exploration allows you to find the one that pays the most so your well-being is enhanced to the highest degree". This is false.
