Rooney uses straight-line depreciation. Expected revenue is $54,780 per year. Assume that depreciation is the only expense associated with this investment. Required a. Determine the payback period. Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. b. Determine the unadjusted rate of return based on the average cost of the investment. Note: Round your answer to 1 decimal place. (i.e., .234 should be entered as 23.4). Answer is complete but not entirely correct. a. Payback period 2.4 years b.
