Cash flows after the payback period are ignored. The payback approach will always endorse the wrong project. malkadhiParticipant 04 Jan 2018 at 8:44 am Up4:: Ah crap, reading critically is key!! hairyfairyParticipant Undecided 04 Jan 2018 at 3:33 pm Up3:: I like questions like these. Question wording is equally tricky no matter what the levels so always good to have a bit of practice on this. AdaptPrepParticipant Undecided 06 Jan 2018 at 7:41 pm Up3:: The payback period often does support the best project. The metric is flawed for the other two reasons (and more), so it doesn’t always give the best results. MaverickParticipant 04 Jan 2018 at 8:39 am Up2:: I’m with you on that one mate.
