Payback Period Defined

in capital budgetingis the length of time needed to recoup the cost of CAPITAL INVESTMENT. The payback period is the ratio of the initial investment (cash outlayregardless of the source of the cash) to the annual cash inflows for the recovery period. The major shortcoming for the payback period method is that it does not take into account cash flows after the payback period and is therefore not a measure of the profitability of an investment project. For this reasonanalysts generally prefer the DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW methods of capital budgeting; primarilythe INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN and the NET PRESENT VALUE methods.
