Explanation / Answer

Answer is A.

Payback period ignores cashflows that occur beyond the payback period, this disadvantage exists even in discounted pay back method though it considers time value of money. Projects with positive NPV are not must to be considered, depends on the project period and IRR when compared with other projects. Mostly projects with less payback period are generally considered for further evaluation.
