  1. Is a cost of operations that cannot be avoided?
  2. Is a cash inflow.
  3. Reduces the cash outlay for income taxes.
  4. Represents the initial cash outflow spread over the life of the investment.

Henderson, Inc. has purchased a new fleet of trucks to deliver its merchandise. The trucks have a useful life of 8 years and cost a total of $500.000. Henderson expects its net increase in after-tax cash flow to be $150,000 in Year 1, $175,000 in Year 2, $125,000 in Year 3, and $100,000 in each of the remaining years. Ignoring the time value of money, how long will it take Henderson to recover the amount of investment?

  1. 3.5 years.
  2. 4.0 years.
  3. 4.2 years.
  4. 5 years.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The payback period for an investment, ignoring the time value of money, can be found by accumulating each year's net cash flows until the initial investment is recovered. The amount accumulated after 3 years is $450,000. Thus, 50% ofYear4 cash flows is needed to recover the initial investment. The payback period is 3.5 years.
