Training cost $6,500 and a project required an initial investment of $47,500. If the project yields monthly savings of $3,500 beginning after 4 months, what is the payback period in months, before money costs and taxes?
If the project starts saving after 4 months, I guess we need to add those months to the total payback calculation. I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m not completely sure.
I'm pretty confident I can solve this. The key is to remember that the payback period is the time it takes for the cumulative savings to equal the total investment. With the given information, I should be able to work through this step-by-step.
Wait, is the 4-month delay before the savings start included in the payback period, or do I need to add that on top of the calculated payback period? I'm a little confused about how to handle that part.
Okay, I think I've got this. The total investment is $47,500 + $6,500 = $54,000. The monthly savings are $3,500, and the savings start after 4 months. So the payback period should be (54,000 / 3,500) + 4 = 19.4 months.
This looks like a straightforward payback period calculation. I'll start by finding the total investment cost, then divide that by the monthly savings to get the payback period.
