A project with an initial cost of $28,300 is expected to generate cash flows of $6,900, $9,000, $9,250, $8,150, and $7,700 over each of the next five years, respectively. What is the project's payback period

3.39 years

Explanation:

The computation of the project payback period is shown below:

Initial cost = $28,300

Generated cash flows         Cumulative cash flows

1            $6,900                    $6,900

2           $9,000                     $6,900 + $9,000 = $15,900

3           $9,250                     $15,900 + $9,250 = $25,150

4           $8,150                      

5           $7,700

Here the payback period is

= 3 years + ($28,300 - $25,150) ÷ $8,150

= 3 years + 0.386

= 3.39 years

hence, the payback period is 3.39 years

i think you have to let the moderators that you want your old account to be activated.

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable

3 wants

things that you do not need to have in order to survive, but would like to have

needs

things that you must have in order to survive
