The formula of Payback period is,

PP=57,000/20,000

Payback period is lies between year 2 and year 3 .Sum of money recovered by the end of the second year

= (22,000+20,000)

= 42,000

=54,000 – 42000

= 12,000

PP= (2+12,000/18,000)

PP=2.67years

NPV=Cf [(1/i-1/i (1+i)]-Ct

NPV=20,000[(1/.14 - 1/.14 (1+.14) ^4)]-57,000

NPV=20,000[(7.1429 – 1/ 0.2365)] – 57,000

NPV=20,000 (7.1429 – 4.2283) – 57,000

NPV= 20,000 *(2.9146) – 57000

NPV=58291 – 57,000

NPV=1291

NPV= [Cf1/ (1+i) + Cf2/ (1+i) ^2+ Cf3/ (1+i) ^3+ Cf4/ (1+i) ^4] -Ct

NPV= [22,000 / (1+.14) +20,000/ (1+.14) ^2+18,000/ (1+.14) ^3+16,000 / (1+.14) ^4] - 54000

NPV=19298+15389+12150+9473-54000

NPV=56310 – 54000

NPV=2310

Q.3: On the basis of results of pay back period and NPV, which project would you recommend to your company and why?

As per the Calculation According to the Payback Period method we should have to take Project B Because it has less payback time as compare to Project A.

As far as the NPV is concern the both the projects is NPV > 0, so both Project could be possible to take , but the Project are Mutually exclusive then we should take the project that has the Greater NPV so that is the Project B.
