Payback Period and Simple
Nicks Novelties, Inc., is considering the purchase of Dew electronic games to place in its amusement houses. The games would cost a total of $300,000, have an eight-year useful life, and have a total salvage value of $20,000. The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows:
Required:
1. What is the payback period for the new electronic games? Assume that Nicks Novelties, Inc., il1 not purchase new games unless they provide a payback period of fire years or less. Would the company purchase the new games?
2. What is the simple rate of return promised by the games? If the company requires a simple rate of return of at least 12%, will the games be purchased?
Concept Introduction: When the Payback Period is computed after discounting the cash flows by a pre-determined rate (cut-off rate), it is called as the discounted payback period.
Concept of simple Rate of return:
Simple Rate of Return is also known as Accounting (or) Average rate of return (ARR) Means the average annual yield on the project. In this method, Profit After Tax (PAT) instead of (FAT) is used for evaluation.
1. Payback period for the new electronic games. 2. Simple rate of interest.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation of cash flows after Tax
Here, the payback period is 3 years 7 months. So, Neck’s Novelties, Inc., would purchase the new games.
2. Simple rate of return

- Falkland, Inc., is considering the purchase of a patent that has a cost of $50,000 and an estimated revenue producing life of 4 years. Falkland has a cost of capital of 8%. The patent is expected to generate the following amounts of annual income and cash flows: A. What is the NPV of the investment? B. What happens if the required rate of return increases?arrow_forwardMason, Inc., is considering the purchase of a patent that has a cost of $85000 and an estimated revenue producing lite of 4 years. Mason has a required rate of return that is 12% and a cost of capital of 11%. The patent is expected to generate the following amounts of annual income and cash flows: A. What is the NPV of the investment? B. What happens if the required rate of return increases?arrow_forwardGina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows: The system will cost 9,000,000 and last 10 years. The companys cost of capital is 12 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the payback period for the system. Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired? 2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Should the system be purchasedeven if it does not meet the payback criterion? 3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of 1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of 300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Does the decision change? Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does salvage value have any real bearing on the companys decision?arrow_forward
- Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?arrow_forwardGardner Denver Company is considering the purchase of a new piece of factory equipment that will cost $420,000 and will generate $95,000 per year for 5 years.

The machine will generate an after-tax net income of P20,000 per year. Annual depreciation expense would be P15,000. What is the payback period for the new machine? Group of answer choices 10.5 years. 6 years. 42 years. 4 years. 14 years.arrow_forwardYou must evaluate a proposal to buy a new milling machine. The purchase price of the milling machine, including shipping and installation costs, is $100,000, and the equipment will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The machine would be sold after 3 years for $57,000. The machine would require a $9,000 increase in net operating working capital (increased inventory less increased accounts payable). There would be no effect on revenues, but pretax labor costs would decline by $51,000 per year. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and the WACC is 9%. Also, the firm spent $4,500 last year investigating the feasibility of using the machine. What is the initial investment outlay for the machine for capital budgeting purposes after the 100% bonus depreciation is considered, that is, what is the Year 0 project cash flow?
