Payback Period Technique
Payback PeriodThis is probably the most frequently used technique for assessing the financial viability of projects. It regards projects which repay their capital cost most quickly as being the best. For example, if a cafe purchases a new cooker for £1000 and makes an average of £.50 profit on each meal, the cooker will be paid for after £1000/£0.50=2000 meals. If the cafe sells 40 meals a day, the full price of the cooker is paid back after 2000/40=50days.
Attempt this question now:Frank and Mary decided to set up a carpet cleaning business. They purchased carpet cleaning equipment for £800. On average they expect to earn £5 per carpet after expenses and to be able to clean two carpets, five days a week. Calculate their payback period in weeks

Payback Period Technique
The payback period is ( £800/ £5x2x5) = £800/50=16weeks.
You will appreciate as a project manager that the calculations above are rater simplistic.
The capital cost of equipment or machinery is fairly easy to work out. It is how much the organisation paid for it together with delivery, installation and other costs incurred to get it up and running. But how is income calculated?
And you know that income does not always flow in evenly

Project Management – Revenue & Cost Projections
Project Management In Practice
Hampdene Ltd is a company specialising in arable farming. It is thinking about purchasing a combine harvester for a capital cost of £160,000 to be used from August to early October on its fields. It will also be rented out to a neighboring farm for the remainder of October. Harvest income flow in from October to December and total sales are expected to bring in £60,000 in year 1, £66,000 in year 2 and £70000 for each year from year 3 to year 8 (additional competition in world markets is faced in the later years). Running costs of the combine harvester are estimated at £4000 a year for year 1 and year 2 and £5000 for each year thereafter. Seeds fertilisers and other costs of production are generally 50 percent of sales income.
Rental income from hiring out the vehicle is estimated at £2000 per year for the foreseeable future. While not in use, storage, security and maintenance expenses of the combine harvester are estimated at £1000 per year.
Your task is to use a separate sheet and put together the projection of revenue and costs including net profit or loss for this project.
