Products is considering producing toy action figures and sandbox toys. The products require different specialized machines, each costing $1.1 million. Each machine has a five-year life and zero residual value. The two products have different patterns of predicted net cash inflows: LOADING...(Click the icon to view the data.) Calculate the sandbox toy project's payback period. If the sandbox toy project had a residual value of $ 200 comma 000, would the payback period change? Explain and recalculate if necessary. Does this investment pass Toy Universe's payback period screening rule?

Answer explained below

Explanation:

A. Calculation of Payback Period

1. For Toy Action Figure

Total Investment = $ 1,000,000

First Two Years' Net Cash Flow= $ 371500 + $ 371500

= $ 743,000

Balance Investment to be Recovered from Third Year Cash Flow= Total Investment - First-two Year Net Cash Flow

= $ 1,000,000 - $ 743,000

= $ 257,000

Third Year Net Cash Flow = $ 371,500

Payback period = 2 Years + (12MOnths* $ 257000) / $ 371,500

= 2 Years + 8.30 Months

= 2 Years 8.30 Months

2. For Sandbox Toy Project

Total Investment = $ 1,000,000

First Two Years' Net Cash Flow= $ 540000 + $ 390000

= $ 930,000

Balance Investment to be Recovered from Third Year Cash Flow= Total Investment - First-two Year Net Cash Flow

= $ 1,000,000 - $ 930,000

= $ 70,000

Third Year Net Cash Flow = $ 310,500

Payback period = 2 Years + (12 Months* $ 70000) / $ 310,500

= 2 Years + 2.71 Months

= 2 Years 2.71 Months

B. ARR of the Projects

1. For Toy Action Figure

Total Cash Flows (Given) = $1,857,000

Total Investment (Given) = $ 1,000,000

Net Income= Total Cashflows - Total Investment

= $ 1,857,000 - $ 1,000,000

, = $ 857,000

ARR Year basis = ($ 857,000 / $ 1,000,000)*100 / 5 Years

= 17.14%

2. For Sandbox Toy

Total Cash Flows (Given) = $1,535,000

Total Investment (Given) = $ 1,000,000

Net Income= Total Cashflows - Total Investment

= $ 1,535,000 - $ 1,000,000

= $ 535,000

ARR Year basis = ($ 535,000 / $ 1,000,000)*100 / 5 Years

 = 10.70%

So, Company Internal Policy for both the Project is Fulfill but as per the calculation shown above company should invest in Toy Action Figure Because It will within the payback period and earn maximum Return to the company,

And

If the Sandbox Toy has $ 200,000 Residual value then also the income will not exceed the Toy figure so answer will not change in this condition also.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
