In periods 0-4, a project has the following cash flows -3000, 1000, 1000, 1,380, 1000. Its cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the project’s payback period?
Payback Period = ( Last Year with a Negative Cash Flow ) + [( Absolute Value of negative Cash Flow in that year)/ Total Cash Flow in the following year)]
= 2+(1000/1380)
= 2.72 years
Answer = 2.72 years
