Answer:
4 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the time in which a project returns back the initial investment in the form of net cash flow.
Initial Investment = $280,000
Net Income = $20,000
To calculate the net cash flows add bask the depreciation expense in Net income each year.
Depreciation = ($280,000 - $30,000) / 5 = $50,000
Net Cash Flow = $20,000 + $50,000 = $70,000
Payback period = Initial Investment / yearly cash flow = $280,000 / $70,000 = 4 years

Total variable cost of manufacturing the components are as follows;
Direct materials $21,000
Direct labor 6,000
Variable overhead 3,000
————
Total $30,000
If we purchase the cost is $39,000 and the company is indifferent if they will manufacture or purchase. Therefore;
$39,000 - 30,000 = $9,000 (unavoidable fixed cost)

Answer:
This is a very unlikely situation, since the plant must be really large and the river probably didn't carry a lot of water in the first place. But even if this was possible, it would be illegal for a company to use 100% of the natural resources available. No law or regulation (municipal, state or federal) would allow such thing to happen and assuming it got to court, the court would rule against the company.
Since you need an environmental impact report before you start building a factory, then it would be unlikely that the factory or plant was legally authorized to operate in the first place. The only option is that they built a dam and that is highly regulated.
