The important bit is that it keeps paying for itself after those 4-5 years. Even if we assume a short-lifetime bioroid (e.g. 25 years due to Short Lifespan 1 [-10] + Self-Destruct [-10]).
A 24% annual return on interest seems like a good deal compared to many other options.

Your numbers don't add up at all, are you counting the initial upfront capital costs of purchasing the bioroid/robot as free money?
In order to get a payout in 50 months you're saying a $0 upkeep for the Bioroid/Robot, are you saying they need neither food/energy nor servicing/storage?
