Comment on payback period Tecnique
Your payback period calculation formular is somehow too generalised in that it assumes that all projects will have equal annual cashflows.What about those with different annual cashflows.?

Payback Period if annual cashflows vary?
In case the annual cashflows are not the same, the formula is still valid.
Suppose the same project is costing $200.000, but now the annual cashflows are: $30.000 (yr 1), $40.000 (yr 2), $50.000 (yr 3), $40.000 (yr 4), $20.000 (yr 5), $20.000 (yr 6), and $50.000 (yr 7).
After 6 years the total of all cash inflows equals the costs (investments) in the project. Therefore the Payback Period of our project is 6 years.
