a) Compute the cash payback period and net present value of the proposal investment.
Cash payback period = Cost of capital investment /Net annual cash inflow
= $48,000/$8,000
=6 years
PV at 8 %, 8 periods
PV of Net annual cash flows
(8,000 x 5.74664) $45,973.12
PV of salvage value
(24,000 x 0.54027) $12,966.48
58,939.6
Capital Investment $48,000.00
Net Present Value $10,939.6

b) Does the project meet the company's cash payback criteria? Does it meet the net present
value criteria for acceptance?

The project does not meet the company's cash payback criteria because the cash
payback period must be 5.6 years and below. Since the net present value is positive
eventhough it does not meet the company's cash payback criteria, Burns Corporation should
still accept the proposed investment.
