Red Sox Corporation wants to purchase a new machine for $350,000. Management predicts that the machine can produce sales of $205

,000 each year for the next 5 years. Expenses are expected to include direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead (excluding depreciation) totaling $85,000 per year. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with no residual value for all depreciable assets. Pique's combined income tax rate is 35%. Management requires a minimum after-tax rate of return of 10% on all investments. What is the payback period for the new machine (rounded to nearest one-tenth of a year)? (Assume that the cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year.)

Answer:

The payback period for the new machine is 3.5 years.

Explanation:

Pay Back Period: The pay back period shows that period in which the borrower has to repay the borrowed amount taken by the financial institution.

In Mathematically,

Payback Period = Initial Investment ÷ Annual cash inflows

where initials investment is $350,000 given

And, the annual cash flows is to computed which is shown below:

= Sales - all expenses - Depreciation - tax rate + depreciation

where,

Sales - all expenses - Depreciation = Net income before tax

Net income before tax - tax rate = Net income after tax

Net income after tax +  depreciation = Annual cash inflows

And Depreciation = (Purchase cost - Residual value) ÷ Useful life

So,

Depreciation = $350,000 ÷ 5 = $ 70,000

$205,000 - $85,000 - $70,000  = Net income before tax = $50,000

$40,000 - 35% = Net income after tax = $32,500

$32500 + $ 70,000 = Annual cash inflows = $102,500

Since the depreciation is non cash expense, so it is added back.

Now Payback period = Initial Investment ÷ Annual cash inflows

                                   = $350,000 ÷ $102,500

                                   = 3.5 years.

Thus, the payback period for the new machine is 3.5 years.

Why do you think companies felt that unions were "conspiracies that interfere with property rights"?
Dafna1 [17]
Companies felt that unions were conspiracies which interfere with property right because, unions usually challenge the employers about the working conditions of their workers and the manner the employers treat their workers; they fight for the rights of the worker. Because of this, employers usually do all they can to stop unions from forming.
