What is the payback period for the following set of cash flows? |
Year | Cash Flow |
0 | −$ 5,000 |
1 | 2,700 |
2 | 1,200 |
3 | 1,900 |
4 | 2,300 |
To calculate the payback period, we need to find the time that the project has recovered its initial investment. After two years, the project has created:
$2,700 + $1,200 = $3,900
in cash flows. The project still needs to create another:
$5,000 - $3,900 = $1,100
in cash flows. During the third year, the cash flows from the project will be $1,900. So, the payback period will be two years, plus what we still need to make divided by what we will make during the third year. The payback period is:
Payback = 2 + ($1,100 / $1,900) = 2.58 years
