(Payback and discounted payback period calculations) The Bar-None Manufacturing Co, manufactures fence panels used in cattie foed lots throughout the Midwest. Bar-None's management is considering three hvostment projects for next year but doesnt want to make any irvestment that requires more than three years to recover the firm's inifial investment. The cash fows for the three projects (Project A. Project B, and Project C) are as follows: a. Given Bar-None's three-year payback period, which of the projects will qualify for accoptance? b. Rank the three projects using their payback period. Which project boks the best using this criterion? Do you agree with this ranking? Why or why not? c. If Bar-None uses a diocount rase of 10.4 percent to analyce projects, what is the discounted payback period for each of the three projects? if the firm still maintains is three-year payback poicy for the discounled payback which projects should the firm undertake? a. Given the cash flow information in the table, the payback period of Project A is years. (Round to two decimal places ) Data table a. Given the cash flow information in the table, the payback period of Project A is 2.29 years. (Round to two decimal places.) If the firm requires a 3-year payback before an investment can be accepted, the firm should Project A because its payback period is the maximum acceptable payback period, (select from the drop-down menus.) The payback period of Project B is 3.32 years. (Round to two decimal places.) If the firm requires a 3-year paryback before an invesiment can be accepted, the firm should Project B becouse its payback period is the maximum acceptable payback period. (Seloct from the drop-down menus) The payback period of Project C is 2.937 years. (Round to two decimal places.) If the firm requires a 3-year payback before an imvestment can be accepted, the firm should Propect C because its paytack period is the maximum acceptable payback period. (Select from the drop-down menun). b. Rank the three projects using their payback period Therefore the project which looks best usng the paytack critenion is (Seiect from the drop-down menus). Do you agree with tis ranking? Why or why not? (5elect the best chaice below) A. No, there is no clear-cul way to defre the cutoff criterion for the payteack period that is ted to the value creation potentia of the invistment. you agree with this ranking? Why or why not? (Select the best choice below.) A. No, there is no clear-cut way to define the cutoff eriterion for the peyback period that is tied to the value creation potental of the investment. B. No, the payback method ignores the time value of money. C. No, the payback method ignores cash flows that are generated by the project beyond the end of the payback period. 0. Al of the above. c. Given the cash flow information in the table and the discount rate of 9.4\%, the discounted paytack period of Projoct A is 3.76 'years. (Round to fwo decimal places.) If the firm requires a 3-year payback before an investment can be accepted, the firm should Project A because its discounted paytack period is the maximum acceptable paytack period. (Select from the drop-down menus.) The discoumed payback penod of Project B is 4.25 years. (Round to two decimal places.) If the firm requires a 3-year paytack before an investment can be accepled, the firm should Project 8 because its discounted payback period is the maximum acceptable payback period. (Select from the drop-down menus) The dscounted paytack period of Project C is 3.90 years. (Round to two decimal places.) It the firm requres a 3-year paytack befcee an investment can be accepted, the frrm should Project C becauso its discounted payback period is the maximum wcceptable peytack perod, (Select from the drop-down merus)
