    Hey, first of all thank you for the video, you helped me a lot. Here is my question:
    The result of the payback period is 3.16. What does this number mean exactly? 3 years and 1,6 months?
    How can i find the months and the days of the payback period?

    Sir what we will do if there is also depreciation in Q of payback period? Will we use depreciation or simply calculate payback period by ignoring depreciation?

  • @johnwalker6841
    @johnwalker6841 3 роки тому

    At the 4:16 point, you say that "you expect to receive $4500 at the end of year four. If you need to receive this lump sum in order to be fully paid back, then why isn't the payback period four years? If the payback is 3.17 years, it seems that you are implicitly assuming that you don't have to wait until yearend to receive $750, the remaining amount to recoup.

  • @rushabhbhatia4066

    hey, great video, but i have a query : why haven't you considered the time value of money factor in this case. If you do, then the answer shall be around 3 years and 5 months.

    • @cl8wnm5n
      @cl8wnm5n 4 роки тому

      This cash payback period doesn’t consider the time value of money

  • @Alanisbusinessacademy

    Are you sure the cost of the project is 1,000,000? The total amount of your cash flow projections are only 110,000 so you wouldn't be able to calculate a payback period with the information given.
    Assuming the cost of your project is 100,000 your payback period is actually around 4.67 years rounded to the nearest hundredth. The reason is after the 4th year you still have 20,000 in costs unpaid but you're going to receive 30,000 in year 5. So 20,000 divided by 30,000 is .6666666666666667.

    Hi can you tell me why someone told me to take cumulative total of last negative year/ by cash flow first positive year then * 12.
    i know why we divide the two but why *12? Is this juts if it is less than a year.

    • @flankspankrank
      @flankspankrank 9 років тому +1

      +flankspankrank NVM just watched your video and i now realise it is to convert the decimal into months. Glad i did my assessment right.

    What if cash flows are negative though the whole life of the project?

    • @Alanisbusinessacademy
      @Alanisbusinessacademy  8 років тому

      In that case there is no payback period since the cash flows do not cover the cost of the project.

  • @shiyasvkpba
    @shiyasvkpba 3 роки тому

    Initial investment is 10000
    Cash flows
    1. -6000
    2. 4000
    3. 3000
    4 2000
    5. 2000
    Here initial investment is not recovered. So can we say payback period is 0? Or there is no payabck period in this case?
