Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period for each product line is as follows

(in dollars)

Year Liquid Soap Cumulative Body lotion Cumulative

1 170,000 170,000 90,000 90,000

2 150,000 320,000 90,000 180,000

3 120,000 440,000 90,000 270,000

4 100,000 540,000 90,000 360,000

5 70,000 610,000 90,000 450,000

6 40,000 650,000 90,000 540,000

7 40,000 690,000 90,000 630,000

8 30,000 720,000 90,000 720,000

So, the Payback period for Liquid soap is 4 years and Payback Period for Body Lotion is 6 Years respectively

Therefore we suggest liquid soap as it contains better paypack period as compared with the body lotion
