Dumora Corporation is considering an investment project


(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Dumora Corporation is considering an investment project that will require an initial investment of $9,400 and will generate the following net cash inflows in each of the five years of its useful life:



Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
Year 5

Net cash inflows....
$1,000
$2,000
$4,000
$6,000
$5,000

Dumora’s discount rate is 16%.

      90. Dumora's payback period for this investment project is closest to:
            A)      1.91 years
            B)      2.61 years
            C)      2.89 years
            D)      3.40 years
           
            Ans:  D     AACSB:  Analytic     AICPA BB:  Critical Thinking     AICPA FN:  Reporting     LO:  5     Level:  Medium

$2,400

Year 4: $2,400 ÷ $6,000 = 0.4

Therefore, the payback period for this investment is 3.4 years.
