How do I solve these problems?
A company is considering a capital investment of $200,000 in new equipment. It is expected to have useful life of 10 years with no salvage value. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method. During the life of the investment, annual net income and cash inflows are expected to be $11,000 and $31,000, respectively. This company requires either a 10% cost of capital "hurdle'rate, or a payback period of 7 years.
Compute the (a) cash payback period, (b) net present value, and (c) annual rate of return. State whether the project should be accepted or rejected for each of these techniques.
