Question 1
Payback Period Given the cash flows of the four projects, A, B, C, and D, and using the Payback Period
decision model, which projects do you accept and which projects do you reject with a three year cut-off
period for recapturing the initial cash outflow? Assume that the cash flows are equally distributed over
Projects A B C D
Cost $10,000 $25,000 $45,000 $100,000
Cash Flow Year One $4,000 $2,000 $10,000 $40,000
Cash Flow Year Two $4,000 $8,000 $15,000 $30,000
Cash Flow Year Three $4,000 $14,000 $20,000 $20,000
Cash Flow Year Four $4,000 $20,000 $20,000 $10,000
Cash Flow year Five $4,000 $26,000 $15,000 $0
Cash Flow Year Six $4,000 $32,000 $10,000 $0
Question 2
Payback Period What are the Payback Periods of Projects E, F, G and H? Assume all cash flows are
evenly spread throughout the year. If the cut-off period is three years, which projects do you accept?
Projects E F G H
Cost $40,000 $250,000 $75,000 $100,000
Cash Flow Year One $10,000 $40,000 $20,000 $30,000
Cash Flow Year Two $10,000 $120,000 $35,000 $30,000
Cash Flow Year Three $10,000 $200,000 $40,000 $30,000
Cash Flow Year Four $10,000 $200,000 $40,000 $20,000
Cash Flow year Five $10,000 $200,000 $35,000 $10,000
Cash Flow Year Six $10,000 $200,000 $20,000 $0
Question 3
Net Present Value Swanson Industries has a project with the following projected cash flows:
a. Using a 10% discount rate for this project and the NPV model should this project be
accepted or rejected?
Question 4
Net Present Value Campbell Industries has a project with the following projected cash flows:
d. Using an 8% discount rate for this project and the NPV model should this project be
accepted or rejected?
Question 5
Net Present Value Swanson Industries has four potential projects all with an initial cost of $2,000,000.
The capital budget for the year will only allow Swanson industries to accept one of the four projects.
Given the discount rates and the future cash flows of each project, which project should they accept?
Cash Flows Project M Project N Project O Project P
Year one $500,000 $600,000 $1,000,000 $300,000
Year two $500,000 $600,000 $800,000 $500,000
Year three $500,000 $600,000 $600,000 $700,000
Year four $500,000 $600,000 $400,000 $900,000
Year five $500,000 $600,000 $200,000 $1,100,000
Discount Rate 6% 9% 15% 22%
Question 6
Question 7
The Delta company is planning to purchase a machine known as machine X. Machine X would cost
$25,000 and would have a useful life of 10 years with zero salvage value. The expected annual cash
inflow of the machine is $10,000.
Required: Compute payback period of machine X and conclude whether or not the machine would be
purchased if the maximum desired payback period of Delta company is 3 years.
Question 8
An investment of $200,000 is expected to generate the following cash inflows in six years:
Year 1: $70,000
Year 2: $60,000
Year 3: $55,000
Year 4: $40,000
Year 5: $30,000
Year 6: $25,000
Required: Compute payback period of the investment. Should the investment be made if management
wants to recover the initial investment in 3 years or less?
