Bonds, Stock and Project
Similarities
• All three have identified future dollars
that an must be considered
• All three involve bring future dollars
into present value terms
• All three involve an “accept/reject”
decision in the form of purchasing or
not purchasing the entity.
Bonds, Stocks and
Project
Differences
• A bond has coupon payments and a lumpsum payment; stock has dividend
payments forever; projects have cash flows
that end.
• Coupon payments are fixed; stock
dividends change or “grow” over time;
project cash flows are typically different
each year.
Bonds, Stocks and
Project
Differences
• With bonds and stock our goal is to
determine the value today (P0); our goal
with projects is to determine if we will
exceed our cost with the cash flows
identified.
Our Task:
To determine if we
should purchase
the project
And how will we
accomplish our
task?

Payback Period
Definition: How long does it take to get the
initial cost back in a nominal
sense?
Computation:
1. Estimate the cash flows
2. Subtract the future cash flows
from the initial cost until the
initial investment has been
recovered
Project Example
Information
You are reviewing a new project and have estimated
the following cash flows:
Year 0:
Year 1:
CF = -165,000
CF = 63,120; NI = 13,620
Year 2:
CF = 70,800; NI = 3,300
Year 3:
CF = 91,080; NI = 29,100
Average Book Value = 72,000
Your required return for assets of this risk level is
12%.
Project Example - Visual
R = 12%
1
$ -165,000
CF1 =
63,120
2
CF2 =
70,800
3
CF3 =
91,080
The required return for assets of this risk level
is 12% (as determined by the firm).
Payback Computation
R = 12%
1
$ -165,000
CF1 =
63,120
2
CF2 =
70,800
3
CF3 =
91,080
Year 1: $165,000 – 63,120 = 101,880
We need to get to zero so keep going…
Payback Computation
R = 12%
1
$ -165,000
CF1 =
63,120
2
CF2 =
70,800
3
CF3 =
91,080
Year 2: $101,880 – 70,800 = 31,080
We need to get to zero so keep going…
Payback Computation
R = 12%
1
$ -165,000
CF1 =
63,120
2
CF2 =
70,800
3
CF3 =
91,080
Year 3: $31,080 – 91,080 = -60,000
We “passed” zero so payback is achieved
Payback decision
So….Deal
or No Deal?
Payback Decision
We need to know a “management’s number.
What does the firm use for the evaluation
of its projects when they use payback?
Most companies use either 3 or 4 years.
Let’s use 4 in our numerical example
Payback Decision
Our computed
payback was 3 years
The firm’s uses 4
years as it’s criteria,
so…
YES, we Accept this
project as we recover
our cost of the
project early.
