While taking a capital budgeting decision of source of fund, or the capital project to be chosen, we sometimes use Payback Period
It is defined as the tenure in which the cash flows will realize the cost of project, that is the period in which the entire cost will be paid back.
This provides the information regarding the time after which the project will be profitable, or the time at which it will reach break even.
The payback uses the criteria that if the payback period calculated is less than life of project it shall be accepted, in case it is equal to life of project then there will be no profit no loss, and in case payback is higher than life of project then there will be loss.

Ethics is the branch of philosophy that explores the nature
of moral virtue and evaluates human actions. Philosophical ethics differs from
legal, religious, cultural and personal approaches to ethics by seeking to
conduct the study of morality through a rational, secular outlook that is
grounded in notions of human happiness or well-being. A major advantage of a
philosophical approach to ethics is that it avoids the authoritarian basis of
law and religion as well as the subjectivity, arbitrariness and irrationality
that may characterize cultural or totally personal moral views. (Although some
thinkers differentiate between "ethics," "morals,"
"ethical" and "moral,")
