Introduction:

Payback Period: Payback period is the period in which the project recovers its initial cost of the investment. It can be calculated by dividing the initial investment by the annual cash inflow from the project. The formula to calculate the Payback period is as follows:

Payback Period= Initial InvestmentAnnual Cash inflow

Hence, smaller the payback period better it is. A project with the smaller payback period is chosen first in the capital rationing process.

NPV: Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:

NPV = Present value of cash inflows  Present value of cash out flows

A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. Hence, higher the NPV better it is. A project with the Higher NPV is chosen first in the capital rationing process.

IRR: Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the rate at which the NPV of the project is 0 or we can say that IRR is the rate of return at which the project is at breakeven. IRR is calculated using excel or approximation method.

A project should be accepted if it has an IRR greater than the required rate of return. Hence, higher the IRR better it is. A project with the Higher IRR is chosen first in the capital rationing process.

Profitability Index: Profitability Index is similar to the NPV method to evaluate a project. It calculates the ratio between the present value cash inflow and present value of cash outflow. A project should be accepted it has a profitability index greater than or equal to 1. The formula to calculate the Profitability Index is a follows:

Profitability index=Present value cash inflowPresent value of cash outflow 

A project should be accepted if it has a PI more than or equal to 1. Hence, higher the NPV better it is. A project with the Higher NPV is chosen first in the capital rationing process.
