Little doubt

Hi 
I have little confusion regarding calculation guys... please correct mecrying

Pay back period = Initial cash outflow / Annual cash inflow
Initial cash outflow = 200000
Annual cash inflow = 82000

So It is 2.439 i.e 2 years 5 months and 8 days ( as per book)

I got 2.439 but 2 years 5 months and 10 days... there are similar 2-3 days difference
i'm getting from other cases of same Q.



How to calculate exactly... please tell me.. 

I'm doing this method to solve out
in 2.439 = 2 years 
0.439*365= 160.235
160.235/30= 5.341
In 5.341= 5 months
0.341*30 =10.23
In 10.23= 10 days

I have done just guess work in my knowledge
Please correct me... and tell the right way
ASAP

Hey, Calculations such as these are approximations...Sometimes the answer changes with the type of calculator you use..so you need not worry about minor differences.

So these differences really don't matter na???

And yeah am I calculating right???

Yeah Urvashi.. Don't worry.. Such minor differences doesn't matter...

The calculations in the book were done as under:

=200000/82000*12

=29.268 ( It means 29 completed months and 0.268 month )

= 29 months is equal to 2 years and 5 months

=0.268 month is equal to 8 days (0.268x 30)

However you calculation basis is also correct.

yes

in your text book 

calculation made by assuming 360days p.year

then u will get exact answer

 2,00,00/- ///// 82,0000/- === 2.4390 YEARS

 .4390*360= 158.04/30 = 5.268

5.268 - 5 = 0268 * 30 = 8.04 DAYS

I THINK U SATISFIED WITH EXACT ANSWER AS TEXT BOOK

NOTE: BUT CALCULATION SHOULD BE MADE FOR 365 DAYS EXACTLY RIGHT ANSWER.

 

itz jst rounding off diff. it can.b ignored

hi urvashi.........

This problem due to divided by you days into month (i.e. u divivded by 30), but month is of 28,30 and 31 also.

THANKS 

differnces in answer to the sum come due to rounding off,assumptions,etc..its a minor thing..not a prblm .. smiley

Again I trapped in my silly mistake...crying correct me please...

Purchase price of Machinery 10,00,000
Installation price 1,50,000
Book salvage value 10% of purchase price
And Useful life 5 years...

So depreciation must be amounted to???
210000 or 207000

In book its 100000... 
Q is about to find out Cash Inflow after tax (CFAT)... So should consider anything else...
