Determine the net present value and the present value index of the investment, assuming that Solomon uses doubledeclining-balance depreciation for financial and income tax reporting. d. Determine the payback period and unadjusted rate of return (use average investment), assuming that Solomon uses straigh line depreciation. e. Determine the payback period and unadjusted rate of return (use average investment), assuming that Solomon uses double declining-balance depreciation. (Note: Use average annual cash flow when computing the payback period and average ann income when determining the unadjusted rate of return.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
