An investment project provides cash inflows of $675 per year for 8 years. What is the project payback period if the initial cost is $1,700?
Solution: The Answer is 2.52 Years [Approx]
Calculation:
Year | Cash Inflow | Accumulated Cash Flow |
1 | $ 675 | $ 675 |
2 | $ 675 | $ 1,350 |
3 | $ 675 | $ 2,025 |
4 | $ 675 | $ 2,700 |
5 | $ 675 | $ 3,375 |
6 | $ 675 | $ 4,050 |
7 | $ 675 | $ 4,725 |
8 | $ 675 | $ 5,400 |
