Assume: A firm pays $500 for a unit of capital. This capital generates $500 of total revenue. The firm could have earned a 10% return from the best alternative use of its $500. Calculate explicit cost, implicit cost and profit.
The American Pharmaceutical Company (APC) has a policy that all capital investments must have a five-year or less discounted payback period in order to be considered for funding. The MARR at APC is 9% per year. Is the above project able to meet this benchmark for funding? What is the payback period?
