Answer #1

First calculate the cumulative cash flows from year 0 :-

Years Cash flows Cumulative cash flows
0 -5800 -5800
1 1500 -4300
2 1700 -2600
3(x) 2100 -500(Y)
4 1600(Z) 1100

The Payback Period (orP P) is X + Y/Z

· In this calculation:

· X = is the last time period where the cumulative discounted cash flow (CCF) was negative

· Y = is the absolute value of the CCF at the end of that period X without negative symbol

· Z = is the value of the DCF in the next period after X

PP = 3 years + 500 / 1600

= 3 years + 0.3125

Payback period = 3.3125 years = 3.31 years
