Accounting

Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,890,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The companys discount rate is 12%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows: Sales $ 2,739,000 Variable expenses $1,100,000 Contribution margin $1,639,000 Fixed expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $ 641,000 Depreciation $578,000 Total fixed expenses $1,219,000 Net operating income $ 420,000.

14. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 50%. What was the projects actual payback period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
