Year Cash flow Unrecovered investment balance By linear interpolation
----- ---------- -------------------------------- the payback period
0 ( 5000) ( 5000) 1500
1 3500 ( 1500) = 1 + -- --------- = 1.6 years
2 2500 1000 1500 + 1000

Year Cash flow Unrecovered investment
balance
----- ---------- ----------------------------- By linear interpolation the payback 0
( 5000) ( 5000) 1000
1 1000 ( 4000) period= 2 + ------------- = 2.25years
2 3000 (1000) 1000 + 3000
3 4000 3000
Calculation of discounted payback period
--------------------------------------------
Year Cash flow Discounting factor Present Cumulative net cash
at 12 percent Value flow after discounting
------ ----------- ------------------- ------- ---------------------
0 ( 5000) 1.000 ( 5000) ( 5000)
1 1000 0.893 893 ( 4107)
2 3000 0.797 2391 1716
3 4000 0.712 2848 1132
1716
By linear interpolation, the discounted payback period is = 2 + ----------- = 2.60 years
1716 + 1132
b)
NPV of project A = -5000 + 3500 PVIF (12%, 1yr) + 2500 PVIF (12%, 2yrs) + 1500
PVIF (12%, 3yrs)
= -5000+ 3500 x 0.893 + 2500 x 0. 797 + 1500 x 0.712
= - 5000 + 3126 + 1992 + 1068 = 1186
NPV of project B = -5000 + 1000 PVIF (12%, 1yr) + 3000 PVIF (12%, 2yrs) + 4000
PVIF(12%, 3yrs)
= -5000 + 1000x 0. 893 + 3000 x 0. 797 + 4000 x 0.712
= -5000 + 893 + 2391 + 2848 = 1132
NPV of project C = -5000 + 15000 PVIF( 12%, 1yr) - 10000 PVIF( 12%, 2yrs)
= -5000 + 15000x 0. 893 - 10000 x 0. 797
= -5000 + 13395 - 7970 = 425
