Why are the payback and Accounting or Average Rate of Return sometimes refer as
unsophisticated methodologies?
Solution
The payback period is one of the most widely used tools for evaluating capital projects.The
payback period represents the number of years it takes for the cash flows from a project to
recover the project’s initial investment.Payback period is considered as unsophisticated
methodologies because it does not account for time value of money.It does not consider cash
flows past the payback period.It is biased against long term projects such as research and
development and new product launches.
Accounting or Average Rate of Return is considered as unsophisticated methodologies because it
also does not account for time value of money.It does not consider the external factors that are
also affecting the profitability of project.Accounting or Average Rate of Return cannot be
applied in a project where investments are made in parts and in real life, a lot of investmentss are
made in parts.So, it is considered as unsophisticated methodologies.
