follows:
Initial investment | $ | 329,010 | |
Useful life | 6 | years | |
Salvage value | $ | 48,000 | |
Assume straight line depreciation method is
used.
Required:
1. Calculate the accounting rate of return for Bartlett.
(Round your percentage answer to 2 decimal
places.)
2. Calculate the payback period for Bartlett.
(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Accounting rate of return = Net income*100/Initial Investment
= 70737*100/329010
Accounting rate of return = 21.50%
Payback period = Initial investment/Annual cash flow
Annual cash flow = (329010-48000/6)+70737 = 117572
Payback period = 329010/117572 = 2.80 years
