Payback Period
Payback period is the time in which the initial cash outflow of an investment is
expected to be recovered from the cash inflows generated by the investment. It is
one of the simplest investment appraisal techniques.
Formula
Initial Investment
Payback Period = Cash Inflow per
Period
In the formula,
A is the last period with a negative
B cumulative cash flow;
B is the absolute value of cumulative
Payback Period = A + cash flow at the end of the period A;
C is the total cash flow during the period
C after A
Decision Rule
Accept the project only if its payback period is LESS than the target payback
period.

EXERCISE PAYBACK PERIOD
Solution
Payback Period = Initial Investment ÷ Annual Cash Flow = RM105M ÷ RM25M = 4.2
years
Solution
0 (50) (50)
1 10 (40)
2 13 (27)
3 (A) 16 (11) (B)
4 19 (C) 8
5 22 30
Payback Period = A B
+ C
A= 3
= 3 + (RM11M (B) ÷ RM19M (C)

NET PRESENT VALUE
The following table provides each year's cash flow and the present value of each
cash flow.
Year Cash Flow Present Value
0 -RM500,000 RM500,000
1 RM200,000 RM181,818.18
2 RM300,000 RM247,933.88
3 RM200,000 RM150,262.96
When solving for the NPV of the formula, this new project would be estimated to be a
valuable venture.

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (IRR)
IRR is the interest rate at which the net present value of all the cash flows (both
positive and negative) from a project or investment equal zero.
RULE -0
When NPV closest to zero, then you’ll find IRR
If IRR falls below the required rate of return, the project should be rejected.
EXCERCISE
0 = - RM5000 + RM4984.23
So IRR = 14%

This table below is an example of IRR and it’s calculated value between 15%, 14%,
13% and 10% for the exercise above. As shown in the table, 14% is the CLOSEST
VALUE TO ZERO though it’s NEGATIVE.
IRR Value
15% -96.31
14% -15.77
13% 77.83
10% 329.07

BREAK EVEN
Total RM 25.00
If you sell a golf putter for RM30.00 and it costs RM25.00 to make, you have a profit
margin of RM5.00:
= RM100,000 / RM5.00
= 20,000 units
