- Question/ Requirement: Determine each project's payback period.How many years? Info Given: Hearne Company has a number of potential capital investments. Because these projects vary in nature, initial investment, and time horizon, management is finding it difficult to compare them. Assume straight line depreciation method is used. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) Project 2: Purchase Patent for New ProductThe patent would cost $3,400,000, which would be fully amortized over five years. Production of this product would generate $425,000 additional annual net income for Hearne.Project 3: Purchase a New Fleet of Delivery TrucksHearne could purchase 25 new delivery trucks at a cost of $115,000 each. The fleet would have a useful life of 10 years, and each truck would have a salvage value of $5,000. Purchasing the fleet would allow Hearne to expand its customer territory resulting in $200,000 of additional net income per year.arrow_forwardFrom the attached please answer a.

The internal rate of return is the rate of return of an investment project over its useful life. When the net cash inflow is the same every year for a project after the initial investment, the internal rate of return of a project can be determined by dividing the initial investment required in the project by the annual net cash inflow. This computation yields a factor that can be looked up in a table of present values of annuities to find the internal rate of return. Multiple Choice Only statement I is true. Only statement II is true. Both statements are true.arrow_forwardQuestion/ Requirement: Determine each project's payback period.How many years?? *The previous answer a tutor gave me was 3.07 but was wrong*please help.
