The project's payback period is 6.51 years.
Present value of year 1 cash flow = 12000 / (1 + 0.12) = 10,714.28571
Present value of year 2 cash flow = 12000 / (1 + 0.12)2 = 9,566.32653
Present value of year 3 cash flow = 12000 / (1 + 0.12)3 = 8,541.36297
Present value of year 4 cash flow = 12000 / (1 + 0.12)4 = 7,626.21694
Present value of year 5 cash flow = 12000 / (1 + 0.12)5 = 6,809.12227
Present value of year 6 cash flow = 12000 / (1 + 0.12)6 = 6,079.57345
Present value of year 7 cash flow = 12000 / (1 + 0.12)7 = 5,428.19058
Cumulative cash flow for year 0 = -52,125
Cumulative cash flow for year 1 = -52,125 + 10,714.28571 = -41,410.71429
Cumulative cash flow for year 2 = -41,410.71429 + 9,566.32653 = -31,844.38776
Cumulative cash flow for year 3 = -31,844.38776 + 8,541.36297 = -23,303.02479
Cumulative cash flow for year 4 = -23,303.02479 + 7,626.21694 = -15,676.80785
Cumulative cash flow for year 5 = -15,676.80785 + 6,809.12227 = -8,867.68558
Cumulative cash flow for year 6 = -8,867.68558 + 6,079.57345 = -2,788.11213
Cumulative cash flow for year 7 = -2,788.11213 + 5,428.19058 = 2,640
2,788.11213 / 5,428.19058 = 0.51
Discounted payback period = 6 + 0.51 = 6.51 years.
Cash flow is the money that goes into your business and can come from selling, investing, or raising funds. It's the opposite of the cash outflow, which is the money to leave the company. A company's ability to create value for its shareholders is determined by its ability to generate positive cash flow.
