Compute the payback period for a project that requires an initial outlay of $297,771 that is expected to generate $40,000 per year for 9 years.

7.44

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is given below:

Time        Amount       Cumulative

0              (297,771)        (297,771)

1                40,000         (257,771)

2              40,000           (217,771)

3              40,000            (177,771)

4               40,000            (137,771)

5                40,000           (97,771)

6                40,000          (57,771)

7                40,000           (17,771)

8                40,000           22,229

9               40,000              62,229

Now the payback period is  

=7 + (17,771 ÷ 40,000)

= 7.44

answer; ///(c) i believe its it ignores cash flows following the payback period;

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
