From lecture note chapter 7 example 9, there didn’t add from the answer. May 13, 2016 at 8:46 am #314882 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54628☆☆☆☆☆Payback period is based on cash flows. If you have the cash flows then you do not add back the depreciation (it is not a cash flow!).If, on the other hand you have the profit, then you do add back the depreciation (because profit is after having charged depreciation).The answer to that example is correct!(You can find more free lectures on payback period in the Paper F2 section of the website, because it is revision from F2) May 13, 2016 at 4:08 pm #314952 lp96617292MemberTopics: 3Replies: 5☆Thank you very much John May 13, 2016 at 5:25 pm #314972 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54628☆☆☆☆☆You are very welcome 🙂AuthorPostsViewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
