Explanation / Answer

1. Payback period = 3.9 Years

= Initial Investment / cash flow

= $1950000 / 505000 = 3.9 Years

2. Accounting rate of return (ARR) = 13.40%

Depreciation = $1950000 / 8 = $2,43,750

Net Income = Cash Flow - Depreciation

                   = $5,05,000 - $2,43,750 = $2,61,250

Accounting Rate of return = (Net Income / Initial Investments) * 100

= ($261250 / 1950000) x 100 = 13.40%

3. Net present value (NPV) at 9% = $3,92,695

= [ $5,05,000 x (PVAF 14%,8 Years) ] - $19,50,000

= [ $5,05,000 x 4.639 ] - $19,50,000

= $23,42,695 - $1950000

= $3,92,695

Dicision

YES. The Company should accept the project since the Payback period is less than the company’s requirement and also the Net Present Value is Positive $3,92,695
