Compute the payback statistic for Project B if the appropriate cost of capital is 12 percent and the maximum allowable payback period is three years. (If the project never pays back, then enter a "0" (zero).)
Project B | ||||||
Time: | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Cash flow: | –$11,600 | $3,410 | $4,300 | $1,640 | $0 | $1,120 |
payback period is the period in which initial investment is recovered.
Year | Opening Bal | CF | Closing Bal |
1 | $ 11,600.00 | $ 3,410.00 | $ 8,190.00 |
2 | $ 8,190.00 | $ 4,300.00 | $ 3,890.00 |
3 | $ 3,890.00 | $ 1,640.00 | $ 2,250.00 |
4 | $ 2,250.00 | $ - | $ 2,250.00 |
5 | $ 2,250.00 | $ 1,120.00 | $ 1,130.00 |
Even after 5 years completion, Project is unable to recover initial investment.
Hence Project is Rejected.
