Water Planet is considering purchasing a water park in Miami, Florida, for $ 2,100,000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $ 535,000 for eight years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for eight years and have no residual value. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Its owners want payback in less than five years and an ARR of 10% or more. Management uses a 12% hurdle rate on investments of this nature.

.

Requirement 1. Compute the payback period, the ARR, the NPV, and the approximate IRR of this investment. (If you use the tables to compute the IRR, answer with the closest interest rate shown in the tables.) (Round the payback period to one decimal place.)

The payback period is

years.

(Round the percentage to the nearest tenth percent.)

The ARR (accounting rate of return) is

%.

(Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

Requirement 2. Recommend whether the company should invest in this project.
