Explanation / Answer

Payback period: Project AA: Year Cashflows Cumulative cashflows 0 -22440 -22440 1 7140 -15300 2 9180 -6120 3 12240 6120 Pay back period: 2 yrs+ 6120 /12240   = 2.5 years Proct Bb Year Cashflows 0 -22440 1 10200 2 10200 3 10200 Paybak period = 22440/10200 = 2.2 years Project Cc: Year Cashflows Cumulative cashflows 0 -22440 -22440 1 13260 -9180 2 12240 3060 3 11220 14280 Payback period = 1 year+9180/12240= 1.75 years Req : Project CC is most desirable project. Req: Project Aa is least desitrable cost.
