12. The NPV and payback period Suppose you are evaluating a project with the 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. The project's annual cash flows are: Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Cash Flow $300,000 500,000 400,000 325,000 If the project's desired rate of return is 7.00%, the project's NPV-rounded to the nearest whole dollar-is Which of the following statements indicates a disadvantage of using the regular, or conventional, payback period for capital budgeting decisions?
