To determine:-:
Here, in the given problem we have to determine whether the decision of Paul Swanson to acquire a franchise from The Yogurt Place inc. is beneficial for the organisation or not by two capital budgeting techniques namely Simple Rate of return and Payback period. Also there is a need to prepare a contribution format income statement showing net operating income each year from the franchise.
Given:-
Answer to Problem 19P
Solution:-
Payback period and simple rate of return are the two techniques of capital budgeting which helps an organisation in decision making process whether to enter a project or not. Firstly, we will determine the payback period of the equipment and then the simple rate of return. One major difference between the two methods is that where Payback period method uses net cash flows Simple rate of return uses annual operating income which includes non cash items also such as depreciation etc.
Therefore, the simple rate of return calculated below is 16%. The payback period shows recovery period of 4.5Years.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation:-
For Contribution Format income statement
Sales | 300000 |
Less Salaries | 70000 |
Less Insurance | 3500 |
Less Utilities | 27000 |
Less Ingredients cost (300000 x 20%) | 60000 |
Less Rent of the Location (3500 x 12) | 42000 |
Less Depreciation (270000-18000) / 15 | 16800 |
Net Operating income | $43, 200 Per year |
For Simple Rate of return:-
Now, here Swanson expected simple rate of return is 12% and what he would get is 16%. Therefore, Swanson should acquire the Franchise.
For Payback period:-
Here, net cash flows are operating income add depreciation amount i.e.
Now, payback period is,
Now, here Swanson expected payback period is 4 years or less and the calculation shows payback period of 4.5 Years. Therefore, according to the payback period Swanson should not acquire the franchise.
Conclusion:-
Swanson can acquire the franchise as per Simple rate of return method. Swanson should not acquire the franchise as per Payback period.

Purchase: The company can purchase the site, construct the building, and purchase all store fixtures. The cost would be $1,865,700. An immediate down payment of $415,500 is required, and the remaining $1,450,200 would be paid off over 5 years at $369,000 per year (including interest payments made at end of year). The property is expected to have a useful life of 12 years, and then it will be sold for $508,900.
