    Restaurant:

    Cumulative cash inflows at each time

    0 -5
    1 -5.5
    2 -5
    3 -4
    4 -2.5
    5 -0.5

    So another 0.5 inflow is needed which is 0.25 times the year 6 inflow of 2. Hence PB = 5.25

    Hotel

    0 -21
    1 -21
    2 -17
    3 -12
    4 -6

    So another 6 is needed which is 6/7.5 = 0.8 the way through year 5. Hence PB = 4.8

    Thank you sir ,
    Another question please , why they didn’t include the grant amount in the cash flow estimates ? ( is it because they are not sure they will get it ? Or they are not sure of the amount ? )

    Thanks again

    At the moment, both. We certainly can’t include a figure in the PB as we don’t know how much. We could comment that the PBs might be shorter because grants might be received.
