Answer:

3 1/3 years

Explanation:

Payback period is the time required for the inflows from a project to be equal to the initial outflow for the project. It is a key consideration in capital budgeting. It is usually assumed that the outlay or initial outflow is made in year 0 and the first inflow comes in after a year.

Year       Cash outflow      Cash inflow           Balance

0                ($50,000)                   -                ($50,000)

1                         -                   $15,000           ($35,000)

2                        -                    $15,000          ($20,000)

3                        -                    $15,000           ($5,000)

4                      -                      $15,000           $10,000

5                       -                    $15,000            $25,000

Hence the payback period

= 3 years and 5000/15000 * 12 months

= 3 years 4 months

= 3 1/3 years

Which of the following correctly orders the investments from LOWER risk to HIGHER risk?
Yuliya22 [10]
Here is the correct order of investments from Lower Risk to Higher Risk: <span> Treasury bond − Diversified mutual fund – Stock

Treasury bond is released by Government, so unless your country went bankrupt, it is safe to assume that you will get the investment back.

Diversified mutual fund puts your eggs in a lot of baskets So in case one of your investment fail, the others could still support your overall investments

Since the stock is a single entity and really fluctuative, it is considered as the most dangerous type of investment.
