Answer:

Project A = 4 years 4 months

Project B = 2 years 6 months

Explanation:

The payback period of a project is the length of time it takes for the cash flows to equal the amount of initial investment.

Project A ( $150,000) = $ 45,000 + $ 45,000  + $ 45,000 + $15,000 /  $ 45,000 x 12

                                    = 4 years 4 months

Project A ( $150,000) = $ 75,000 + $ 60,000  + $15,000 /  $ 30,000 x 12

                                    = 2 years 6 months

Yeats Corporation's sales in Year 1 were $396,000 and in Year 2 were $380,000. Using Year 1 as the base year, the percent change
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Yeats Corporation

The percent change for Year 2 compared to the base year is -4.04%

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

Year 1 Sales = $396,000

Year 2 Sales = $380,000

Reduction = $16,000

Percentage reduction = $16,000/$396,000 x 100 = 4.04%

This is a reduction, and it is negative.

b) The change in sales is calculated as the difference between year 1 and year 2 sales over the sales in year 1 multiplied by 100.  This is expressed as a percentage by the multiplication by 100.  The percent change describes the relationship between the sales figure in year 1 and the sales figure in 2.  When calculated as above, it shows that sales reduced in year 2 by 4.04% from the sales in year 1.
