A company is considering two projects.
Project A Project B
Initial investment $150,000 $150,000
Cash inflow Year 1 $50,000 $40,000
Cash inflow Year 2 $50,000 $40,000
Cash inflow Year 3 $50,000 $40,000
Cash inflow Year 4 $50,000 $60,000
Cash inflow Year 5 $50,000 $80,000
What is the payback period for Project A?
Option c) is correct
c. 3 years (50000+50000+50000)
28.
What is the payback period for Project B?
Option d) is correct
d. 3.5 years
(40000+40000+40000 = 120000) = 3years
remaining 30000 in
60000-----is for-----12months
30000-----is for------?
=30000/60000*12
=6months which means 50% in a year = .5
=3.5 years
