Answer:
Simple payback is 4 years
Total discounted Payback is more than the 5 years which is the payback cutoff period.
Explanation:
Payback period is the time period in which the project recovers the initial cost incurred. Lower the payback period the more beneficial will be the project.
Simple payback = $100,000 / $25,000 = 4 years
Discounted Payback
Discounted payback is calculated by using the present value of future cash flows.
Total discounted cash flows = 22935.78 + 21042.0 + 19304.59 + 17710.63 + 16248.28 = 97,241.28
As sum of all cash flows are less than the initial investment so, total discounted Payback is more than the 5 years which is the payback cutoff period.
