    I've Finance and Managerial A/c exam after 10-12 days and was searching for some assistance on UA-cam to get some insights to solve the problems and luckily stumbled on this video. I'm so glad to find it. Checked out your other videos too. Short videos yet covers the whole thing and your simple explanation has made it a lot easier to get all those exhausting stuffs of the book in my little brain.

    well explained but the only concern I have with this is that it doesn't "present value" the future year's cash flows or that it assumes that those cashflows have been already PV'ed

    • @Edspira
      @Edspira  4 роки тому

      Companies that use the payback method don't always discount the cash flows; this is a disadvantage of the payback method

    • @drraghunath83

  • @saraabdelhay4448

    Is the cash flow meaning the NET cash flow ? The cash in minus cash out ? Or cash in ?

    IM STILL CONFUSED
    WHERE DID THESE NUMBERS COME FROM HOW ARE YOU SUBTRACTING $30000 IN YR 1 BUT $40000 IN YEAR 2 I DONT UNDERSTAND I NEED HELP[

    • @no-bodymr6419
      @no-bodymr6419 Рік тому

      Those numbers are given numbers. It's just a prediction for how much money this project will generate in future. In year 1, the project is going to generate $30,000 of profit and the next year generate $40,000 so the total generated profit at end of year 2 is $70,000.

    How do you calculate it by weeks though? 2 yrs and X amount of weeks

    • @darksidegoofy4093
      @darksidegoofy4093 5 років тому +1

      Find out how many weeks 0.2 of a year would be.
      Using this example;
      Payback Period is 2.2 years.
      0.2 is the same as 1/5 of a year = 2.4 months
      Because 12 divided by 5 = 2.4
      2.4 months is 9.6 weeks
      So your answer would be 2 years and 9.6 weeks

  • @gautamsethi3751
    @gautamsethi3751 2 роки тому +1

    You make a pretty fundamental mistakes in this video. The whole point of discounting, on which the payback is based, is that $40K received in year 2 is NOT the same as $40K received in year 1; you first need to discount the $40K by one year. What this means is that you CANNOT add the $30K in year 1 to the $40K in year--it's like adding apples and oranges. Hence you premise that you're $10K short after year 2 is flawed, unless the discount rate is zero, which is what you assume. In all real world decisions, however, the discount rate is positive, which means you're more than $10K short coming into year 3. How much short you are depends on the discount rate; the higher the rate, the more short you are.
