Based on the above calculation, the payback period is 1.8 years and discounted payback period extend to 2
years. As a result the payback period is short as the assets have dispose at the end of year 2 which give a
biased view on the plan in the real performance.
Plan 2
Forecast of increasing annual profits of £100,000 and increase in annual rental by 20% as per UK exit in
European Union starting on Year 3. The payback period is 2.6 years whereas the discounted payback period
is 2.8 years. Assume that Zubinos is allow to continue operate it stores after Year 4 without dispose the
value of assets, if Jibbs performance is seen to improve due to its strong advertisement and reorganization.
To calculate the different project periods by using the Equivalent Advertisement Cost (EAC) of Plan 1 is
£33,950/1.647=£20,613, while Plan 2 is £2,734,040/2.914=£938,243. Hence, Plan 2 is more appropriate as
it generate a better return in the view of longer payback period.
