Answer:

1. 3 years

2. 3.375 years

3. The storage facility project

Explanation:

The payback period measures how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recouped from cummulative cash flows.

When there are more than 1 project to be chosen from, the project whose payback period is the least should be chosen.

Therefore, the storage facility project should be chosen.

Explanations on how the payback period is calculated can be found in the attached images. Please contact me if you need clarification.

I hope my answer helps you.

The Quick ratio is calculated net of inventory to determine if a company can cover its current liabilities with its more liquid current assets. The formula is to subtract Inventory from the Current Assets and then divided that by the Currency liabilities.

The Quick ratio will be less than before because the number of current assets will not change but the amount of current liabilities will change as the goods were purchased on credit. With a larger denominator, the resultant ratio will be less than before.
