Please advise how do I calculate payback period?
New project cost $160,000. 4 years expected life and scrap value $20,000.
Net cash flows are as follows:
Yr1 $40,000
Yr2 $60,000
Yr 3 $80,000
Yr4 $20,000
Many thanks

LJM payback period
11y ago#1After 2 years they have had back 100,000, so need an extra 60,000.
This will take 60,000/80,000 of the third year (or 0.75)
SO payback = 2.75 years
