weight. (2) cash flows beyond the payback year are ignored. (3) the payback merely indicates when a project's investment will be recovered. there is no necessary relationship between a given payback and investor wealth maximization.
a variant of the regular payback is the discounted payback. unlike regular payback, the discounted payback considers
