If you want to ask the tutor something directly, please use the ask the tutor forum on link below. This forum is primarily designed for students to help one another. I am not a tutor but I will answer your question. Normal payback does not take into account the time value of money. There is a type of payback called discounted payback which does take into account the time value of money but this is not the type referenced in the question. Hope this helps.
