Project PMP ($ -150 40 75 100

Project PHS ($) -150 65 75 85

Answer the following questions:

14. What is the payback period? Find the discounted and regular paybacks for the Projects.

15. What is the difference between the regular and discounted payback methods?

16. What are the two main disadvantages of discounted payback? Is the payback method useful in capital budgeting decisions? Explain.

Upon further analysis, SnappyPrints believes that sales of the new High-Speed Printer would cannibalize the sales of its existing I-Phone Rapid Print Accessory by 50%, resulting in lost annual cash flow of $25.

17. How can we define/what do we call this effect?
18. Should this effect be included in the cash flow projections?
19. If so, which project should be accepted?
