Payback

HIHalsey Irwin9y ago
Hi sir, Is it correct that payback is also useful as an initial screening device?
HIHalsey Irwin9y ago#1
and also is it true that the cost value is the market value of a product or service?

Yes - it is often used as initial screening because it is quick to calculate. As to it being the market value of a product or service - it depend on the question, but not usually. It is the initial investment.
