EB Accessories is considering the purchase of a land and the construction of a new factory. The land, to be bought immediately, has a cost of $150,000 and the building, to be developed by the end of the first year, would cost $225,000. It is estimated that the firm's after-tax cash flow will be increased by $80,000 starting at the end of the second year, and that this incremental flow would increase at a constant rate of 20% per year over the next 10 years. What is the approximate payback period of this investment? Bella Italia, a famous Italian restaurant, is faced with two independent investment opportunities, i.e., opening of their new outlet in one of two prime locations that restaurant is considering. The company has an investment policy which requires acceptable projects to recover all costs within 4 years. The company uses the discounted payback method to assess potential projects and utilizes a discount rate of 12%. The cash flows for the two projects are as follows: YearLocation-1Location-20-$50,000-$70,000120,00027,500236,00040,000341,00053,000430,00022,000512,00018,000
