A project with a first cost of 40 000 and receipts of 10 000 a year has a simple payback period of

  • A.10 years
  • B.4 years
  • C.5 years
  • D.3 years

Answer: B

Correct answer: 4 years

\[ \frac{40{,}000}{10{,}000} = 4\ \mathrm{years}. \] With uniform receipts the simple payback is a single division. Note what the figure ignores: no interest is charged on the money while it is out, and whatever happens after year four does not enter the calculation.
