Answer:
a) 316.52 weeks or 6.09 years
b) 4.96%
Explanation:
F0 cost: 32,400 + 3,300 + 700 = 36,400
profit per week:
5 units x (75 sales - 36 materials - 16 materials) = 115
payback period: time at which the project pay for itself regardless of the time value of money
36,400 / 115 = 316.52 weeks
in years: 316.52 / 52 weeks per year = 6.09 years
annual rate of return:
net income / investment
115 contribution per week x 52 week
- 4,175 depreciation expense* = 1,805 income
1,805/36,400 = 0.0496 = 4.96%
* (cost - salvage value)/useful life
(36,400 - 3,000)/8 = 4,175
