Problem 8-15 Comparing Investment Criteria [LO 1, 3, 4, 6] Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$428,000 –$41,500 1 42,500 20,700 2 63,500 13,000 3 80,500 20,100 4 543,000 16,900 The required return on these investments is 14 percent. Required: (a) What is the payback period for each project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e. g., 32.16).) Payback period Project A years Project B years

Payback period (A)  is 3.44 years

Payback period (B)  is  2.39 years

Explanation:

Cash Flow (A)   –$428,000; $42,500;  $63,500;  $80,500;  $543,000

Cash Flow (B)   –$41,500; $20,700; $13,000; $20,100; $16,900

The payback period will note consider discounting rate, thus we do manual counting till the cash flow equal to zero (0)

Payback period = Number of Years immediately preceding year of break-even + (investment - cashflow of Years immediately preceding year of break-even)/ cashflow of year break- even

Project A will be break even in Year 4, then

Payback period (A)  = 3 years + ($428,000 - ($42,500+$63,500+$80,500))/ $543,000 = 3.44 years

Project B will be break even in Year 3, then

Payback period (B)  = 2 years + ($41,500 - ($20,700+$13,000))/$20,100 = 3.44 years = 2.39 years

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
