Given the following cash flows for a capital project for the Witter Corp., calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8 percent. Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000; Year 1 = 15,000; Year 2 = 15,000; Year 3 = 20,000; Year 4 = 10,000; and Year 5 = 5,000. The discounted payback period is

Answer:

4.01 years  

Explanation:

The computation of the discounted payback period is shown below;

Given that

Required rate of return is 8%

Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000;

Year 1 = 15,000;

Year 2 = 15,000;

Year 3 = 20,000;

Year 4 = 10,000;

and Year 5 = 5,000

As we can see from the attached table that approx in 4 years it could cover $49,975

So

the discounted payback period is

= 4 years  + ($50,000 - $49,975.91) ÷ $3,402.92

= 4.01 years  

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $29.80 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part U16 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $25,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier should be:
