Cumulative cash inflows at each time
0 -5
1 -5.5
2 -5
3 -4
4 -2.5
5 -0.5So another 0.5 inflow is needed which is 0.25 times the year 6 inflow of 2. Hence PB = 5.25
Hotel
0 -21
1 -21
2 -17
3 -12
4 -6So another 6 is needed which is 6/7.5 = 0.8 the way through year 5. Hence PB = 4.8

Another question please , why they didn’t include the grant amount in the cash flow estimates ? ( is it because they are not sure they will get it ? Or they are not sure of the amount ? )Thanks again
December 2, 2020 at 11:13 am #597376At the moment, both. We certainly can’t include a figure in the PB as we don’t know how much. We could comment that the PBs might be shorter because grants might be received.
December 2, 2020 at 11:50 am #597379Ok, clear .
Thanks
