5. The NPV and payback period
What information does the payback period provide?
Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future
cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you
to calculate the project’s net present value (NPV). You don’t know
the project’s initial cost, but you do know the project’s regular,
or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years.

5. The NPV and payback period
Part A
What information does the payback period provide?
Suppose Acme Manufacturing corp CFO is evaluating a project w
the following cash Inflows. She does not know the project's initial
cost; however he does know that the projects regular payback period
is 2.5 years.
Year Cash flow
1. $350,000
2. $400,000
3. $400,000
4. $400,000
If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 10%,
what is its NPV?
answer options: $326,990; $299,741;...
Calculate the Payback Period and Discounted Payback
Period for the following project:
1. An initial investment of $20,000 with expected after-tax
operating cash flows of $125,000 per year for each of the
next 3 years. However, in preparation for its
termination at the end of year 3, an additional investment of
$350,000 must be made at the end of Year 2.
Please show all work in excel.

. For each project, calculate the NPV, IRR, profitability index
(PI) and the payback period. For each capital budgeting decision
tool, indicate if the project should be accepted or rejected,
assuming that each project is independent of the others. Important
Note: The venture capital folks have a firm maximum payback
period of four
years.
Project A= Required rate of Return=
16.30%
Project B= R= 12.50%
Project C= R= 15.35%
Project D= R= 17.25%
