A clinic is considering the possibility of two new purchases: new MRI equipment and new biopsy equipment. Each project requires an investment of $425,000. The expected life for each is five years with no expected salvage value. The net cash inflows associated with the two independent projects are as follows:
1. Compute the payback period for each project.
2. Compute the accounting rate of return for each project.

1. Compute the payback period for each project. Assume that the manager of the clinic accepts only projects with a payback period of three years or less. Offer some reasons why this may be a rational strategy even though the NPV computed in Exercise 19-11 may indicate otherwise.
2. Compute the accounting rate of return for each project.
Prime Financial Inc. is evaluating two capital investment proposals for a drive-up ATM kiosk, each requiring an investment of $125,000 and each with an eight-year life and expected total net cash flows of $200,000. Location 1 is expected to provide equal annual net cash flows of $25,000, and Location 2 is expected to have the following unequal annual net cash flows:
Year 1
$56,000
Year 5
$18,000
Year 2
43,000
Year 6
14,000
Year 3
26,000
Year 7
11,000
Year 4
24,000
Year 8
8,000
Determine the cash payback period for both location proposals.
