Summary Introduction

To calculate: The selection of the investment using pay-back period.

Introduction:

Pay-back period (PBP):

It is one of the methods of capital budgeting that helps evaluate the time period in which the amount of initial investment is recovered. The formula for the calculation of the PBP is shown below:

Pay-Back Period=Year+Initial InvestmentCumulative Cash FlowCash FLow

Where,

Year = The year in which cumulative cash flow is near and less than the initial investment.

Initial investment = The amount of the investment.

Cumulative cash flow = The cumulative cash flow which is near and less than the initial investment.

Cash flow = The cash flow of the next year from the “Year� used for the calculation.
