Its three-year payback is $16,000. The three-year payback for project B. is -$2,000, so that project should not be accepted.
5) The most commonly used capital budgeting procedures are the net present value (NPV) and the internal rate of return (IRR). After this comes payback period, although that is significantly less popular on account of its inability to account for the time value of money.
6) Although net present value (NPV) is the best method of capital budgeting in practice, there are many reasons why is not the only method used. For example, net present value is incomplete. The net present value method is strong, but it only accounts of time value of money and it is heavily reliant on estimates and assumptions. When put together, this reveals the inherent weaknesses of the NPV system. The method is strong for that which it does know, but is largely...
In business, major projects carry substantial, high, stakes. These stakes make it entirely unreasonable that a firm should only look at one or two perspectives. For the managers making the decision, there are careers on the line. This means that decisions must be made based on a wide range of criteria. As a result, NPV is not the only method used to evaluate a major strategic project. In addition, there are a number of weaknesses inherent in such decision-making criterion. The net present value calculation, for example, is based on a comprehensive set of assumptions, some of which would be irrelevant or poor in the context of an NPV calculation.

Usually, companies determine a standard payback time period, for projects "such as two years or two quarters" when screening potential investments (Sehlhorst 2006). One justification for such hard and fast rules is that the longer the investment takes to 'pay back' given the expected firm profits, the more likely the capital expended upon the investment could have been better used on something else, including more innovative and potentially less
pay back period" is the length of time that is required to cover the cost of an investment. I would use this in order to make a good financial decision. The calculation that I would do is as follows: "http://i.investopedia.com/inv/dictionary/terms/paybackperiod.gif" d? For instance, if a project costs $100,000 and is expected to return $20,000 annually, the payback period will be $100,000 / $20,000, or, in other words, $20 per 5 years. The better
Finance Calculating Investment Values When a firm has a number of investment options but can only undertake one, the firm is likely to undertake some assessments in order to determine which is likely to provide the optimal return. In the first scenario there are three potential factory expansion choices, with the need to determine which will create the greatest value for the firm. The investment levels and the expected net profit per
28% This gives project B. An IRR of -0.028% Part C Using the above assessments each may indicate which investment may be preferred. Using the payback period project a has a payback period of 4 years, whereas project B. has a payback period of 3 years 8 months. If the fastest payback period is preferred than project B. will be chosen. The NPV which discounts the net revenues into a net present value shows
