Year Investment Cash Inflow 1 $38,000      $2,000       2 $6,000      $4,000       3 $8,000       4 $9,000       5 $12,000       6 $10,000       7 $8,000       8 $6,000       9 $5,000       10 $5,000       1.

Determine the payback period(in ears) the investment (round to one decimal place)________

2. Would the payback period be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times larger?

Explanation / Answer

Total Investment = 38,000 +6,000 = 44,000 PBP Time Amount Cumulative                                                  1.00                        2,000.00                        2,000.00                                                  2.00                        4,000.00                        6,000.00                                                  3.00                        8,000.00                      14,000.00                                                  4.00                        9,000.00                      23,000.00                                                  5.00                      12,000.00                      35,000.00                                                  6.00                      10,000.00                      45,000.00                                                  7.00                        8,000.00                      53,000.00                                                  8.00                        6,000.00                      59,000.00                                                  9.00                        5,000.00                      64,000.00                                                10.00                        5,000.00                      69,000.00 Amount at end ofyear 5                      35,000.00 Total Investment                      44,000.00 Amount reqd in 6th year                        9,000.00 PBP= 5 + 9000/10,000 PBP= 5.9 Years No since the payback period is less than 9 Years
