Required Determine the net present value and the present value index of the investment, assuming that Gibson uses straight-line depreciation for financial and income tax reporting. Determine the net present value and the present value index of the investment, assuming that Gibson uses double-declining-balance depreciation for financial and income tax reporting.

Determine the payback period and unadjusted rate of return (use average investment), assuming that Gibson uses straight-line depreciation. Determine the payback period and unadjusted rate of return (use average investment), assuming that Gibson uses double-declining-balance depreciation. (Note: Use average annual cash flow when computing the payback period and average annual income when determining the unadjusted rate of return.)
