Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project’s net present value (NPV). You don’t know the project’s initial cost, but you do know the project’s regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. Year Cash Flow Year 1 $350,000 Year 2 $500,000 Year 3 $450,000 Year 4 $425,000 If the project’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 8%, the project’s NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: $312,620 $295,253 $277,885 $347,356 Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the regular payback period (not the discounted payback period) for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply. The payback period is calculated using net income instead of cash flows. The payback period does not take the project’s entire life into account. The payback period does not take the time value of money into account.
