Discounted Pay Back Period (DPB)** 3.59 Years cumulative cashflow $186,828.00 $28,172.00
Net Present Value $28,681.97
Internal Rate of Return 0.00%
Profitability Index 1.68
Discounted Cash Flow Needed for DPB Calc.
Recommendations:
Frank should undertake the project of buying the proposed new truck. It will be profitable considering that based on the information gathered the project will have a positive net present value and profitability index that is greater than one. Even though there is no acceptable payback period that Frank has established, the project has reasonable payback period of less than 4 years.
