Wave is considering purchasing a water park in California for 2200000. The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of 515000 for 10 years.

Its owners want payback in less than five years and an ARR of 12% or more. Management uses a 10% 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.
