Payback period is nonetheless widely used because it measures

  • A.the project's rate of return
  • B.the project's present worth
  • C.how long capital is at risk
  • D.the total profit of the project

Answer: C

Correct answer: how long capital is at risk

Payback is a crude measure of liquidity and exposure, and that is a genuine concern - particularly in an unstable market or a politically uncertain country, where a project recovering its cost in two years is safer than one taking eight regardless of what the present worths say. Used as a supplementary screen it is defensible; used alone it is not.
