The length of time required to recover the initial cash outlay of a capital project is determined by using the

  1. Discounted cash flow method.
  2. Payback method.
  3. Weighted net present value method.
  4. Net present value method.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The payback method measures the number of years required to complete the return of the original investment. This measure is computed by dividing the net investment by the average expected cash inflows to be generated, resulting in the number of years required to recover the original investment. The payback method gives no consideration to the time value of money, and there is no consideration of returns after the payback period.

Which one of the following statements about the payback method of investment analysis is correct? The payback method

  1. Does not consider the time value of money.
  2. Considers cash flows after the payback has been reached.
  3. Uses discounted cash flow techniques.
  4. Generally leads to the same decision as other methods for long4erm projects.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The payback method calculates the amount of time required to complete the return of the original investment, i.e.1 the time it takes for a new asset to pay for itself. Although the payback method is easy to calculate, it has inherent problems. The time value of money and returns after the payback period are not considered.

The payback reciprocal can be used to approximate a project's

  1. Profitability' index.
  2. Net present value.
  3. Accounting rate of return if the cash flow pattern is relatively stable.
  4. Internal rate of return if the cash flow pattern is relatively stable.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The payback reciprocal (1 ÷ payback) has been shown to approximate the internal rate of return (IRR) when the periodic cash flows are equal and the life of the project is at least twice the payback period

The bailout payback method

  1. Incorporates the time value of money.
  2. Equals the recovery period from normal operations.
  3. Eliminates the disposal value from the payback calculation.
  4. Measures the risk if a project is terminated.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The payback period equals the net investment divided by the average expected cash flow, resulting in the number of years required to recover the original investment. The bailout payback incorporates the salvage value of the asset into the calculation. It determines the length of the payback period when the periodic cash inflows are combined with the salvage value. Hence, the method measures risk. The longer the payback period, the more risky the investment.
