Hi John,
A project requires an initial outlay of 100000 and will generate net cash inflows of 40000 per annum. What will be the adjusted pay back period for this investment at 10% cost of capital.?
According to me it will be 3 years and 2 months whereas the solution says 3 years only. This is given in the BPP mock exam. Kindly explain where did i go wrong.
Thanks in advance
It would help if I could see the exact question – assuming you mean the mock exam in the BPP Revision Kit, please say which exam and which question 🙂
By adjusted payback period, I am assuming you mean the discounted payback period (adjusted payback period is not a standard term in the exam), in which case the answer is 3 years 2 months. Are you sure that the question does not ask for it to the nearest year?
Adjusted payback period is discounted pay back period. I have copied the exact question for you here John.
It is from the mock exam of BPP online. It did not say nearest year.
Well it does seem as though there is a mistake.
