Jack is considering adding toys to his general store. He estimates the cost of toy inventory will be $4,200. The remodeling and
shelving costs are estimated at $1,500. Toy sales are expected to produce net annual cash inflows of $1,200, $1,500, $1,600, and $1,750 over the next four years, respectively. Should Jack add toys to his merchandise if he requires a three-year payback period
1 answer:
Answer:
No. The payback period is 3.8 years
Explanation:
The payback period measures how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flows.
The amount invested = $4,200 + $1,500 = $5,700
Please check the attached image for an explanation on how the payback period was calculated.
Pay back period = 3 years + 1400/1750 = 3.8 years.
3.8 years is greater than the required 3 years Payback period. Therefore, Jack shouldn't accept the project.

Answer:
a. 4.89%
b. 5.23%
Explanation:
We use the rate formula which is shown in the attached spreadsheet
Given that,
Present value = $2,000 × 108.96% = $2,179.20
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = $2,000 × 5.7% ÷ 2 = $57
NPER = 16 years × 2 = 32 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
a. The yield to maturity of the bond is 4.89%
b. The current yield would be
= 57 × 2 ÷ $2,179.20
= 5.23%
