Significance and Use5.1 The payback method is part of a family of economicevaluation methods that provide measures of economic perfor-mance of an
10、 investment. Included in this family of evaluationmethods are life-cycle costing, benefit-to-cost and savings-to-investment ratios, net benefits, and internal rates of return.5.2 The payback method accounts for all monetary valuesassociated with an investment up to the time at which cumu-lative net
11、benefits, discounted to present value, just pay offinitial investment costs.5.3 Use the method to find if a project recovers its invest-ment cost and other accrued costs within its service life orwithin a specified maximum acceptable payback period(MAPP) less than its service life. It is important t
12、o note that thedecision to use the payback method should be made with care.(See Section 11 on Limitations.)6. Procedures6.1 The recommended steps for making an economic evalu-ation of buildings or building components are summarized asfollows:6.1.1 Identify objectives, alternatives, and constraints,6

16、conomic measure and compare alterna-tives.6.2 Only the step in 6.1.5, as applied to measuring payback,is examined in detail in this practice. For elaboration on thesteps in 6.1.1-6.1.4, consult Practices E 964 and E 917, andGuide E 1185.7. Objectives, Alternatives, and Constraints7.1 Specify the kin
17、d of building decision to be made. Makeexplicit the objectives of the decision maker. And identify thealternative approaches for reaching the objectives and anyconstraints to reaching the objectives.7.2 An example of a building investment problem thatmight be evaluated with the payback method is the
18、 installationof storm windows. The objective is to see if the costs of thestorm windows are recovered within the MAPP. The alterna-tives are (1) to do nothing to the existing windows or (2)toinstall storm windows. One constraint might be limited avail-able funds for purchasing the storm windows. If
19、the paybackperiod computed from expected energy savings and windowinvestment costs is equal to or less than the specified MAPP,the investment is considered acceptable using this method.7.3 Whereas the payback method is appropriate for solvingthe problem cited in 7.2, for certain kinds of economicpro
20、blems, such as determining the economically efficient levelof insulation, Practices E 917 and E 1074 are the appropriatemethods.8. Data and Assumptions8.1 Data needed to make payback calculations can becollected from published and unpublished sources, estimated,or assumed.8.2 Both engineering data (
21、for example, heating loads,equipment service life, and equipment efficiencies) and eco-nomic data (for example, tax rates, depreciation rates andperiods, system costs, energy costs, discount rate, project life,price escalation rates, and financing costs) will be needed.8.3 The economic measure of a
22、projects worth variesconsiderably depending on the data and assumptions. Usesensitivity analysis to test the outcome for a range of the lesscertain values in order to identify the critical parameters.9. Compute Payback Period9.1 The payback method finds the length of time (usuallyspecified in years)
23、 between the date of the initial projectinvestment and the date when the present value of cumulativefuture earnings or savings, net of cumulative future costs, justequals the initial investment. This is called the payback period.When a zero discount rate is used, this result is referred to asthe “si
24、mple” payback (SPB). The payback period can bedetermined mathematically, from present-value tables, orgraphically.9.2 Mathematical Solution:9.2.1 To determine the payback period, find the minimumsolution value of PB in Eq 1.(t 5 1PBBt2 Ct!/1 1 i!t#5Co(1)where:Bt= dollar value of benefits (including
25、earnings,cost reductions or savings, and resale values,if any, and adjusted for any tax effects) inperiod t for the building or system beingevaluated less the counterpart benefits in pe-riod t for the mutually exclusive alternativeagainst which it is being compared.Ct= dollar value of costs (excludi
26、ng initial invest-ment cost, but including operation, mainte-nance, and replacement costs, adjusted for anytax effects) in period t for the building orsystem being evaluated less the counterpartcost in period t for the mutually exclusivealternative against which it is being compared.BtCt= net cash f
27、lows in year t,Co= initial project investment costs, as of the basetime,i = discount rate per time period t, and11 1 i!t= formula for determining the single presentvalue factor,NOTE 1 Eq 1 and all others that follow assume the convention ofdiscounting from the end of the year. Cash flows are assumed
28、 to be spreadevenly over the last year of payback so that partial year answers can beinterpolated.9.2.2 Uniform Net Cash Flows:9.2.2.1 For the case where (BtCt) is the same from yearto year, denoted by (B C), the payback period (PB) corre-sponding to any discount rate (i) other than zero can be foun

(3)When the discount rate is equal to zero,PB 5 SPB (4)However PB is undefined when (SPB i)$1; that is, theproject will never pay for itself at that discount rate.9.2.2.2 A calculation using Eq 2 is presented for thefollowing investm
30、ent problem. What would be the paybackperiod for a project investment of $12 000, earning uniformannual net cash flows of $4500 for six years? A 10 % discountrate applies. First solve for the SPB: $12 000/$4500 = 2.6667.Eq 2 would yield the following:PB 5log1/1 2 2.6667 0.10!#log 1.105log 1.3636/log
31、 1.1000!5 0.1347/0.0414!5 3.259.2.2.3 Since the payback period (3.25 years) is less than thesix years over which the project earns constant net benefitreturns, and since a shorter MAPP has not been specified, theproject is considered acceptable.9.2.3 Unequal Net Cash Flows:9.2.3.1 For problems with
32、unequal annual net cash flows, acommon approach to calculating the payback period is toE1121072accumulate the present value of net cash flows year-by-yearuntil the sum just equals or exceeds the original investmentcosts. The number of years required for the two to becomeequal is the payback period.9
33、.2.3.2 This approach is illustrated inTable 1.Aproject withseven years of unequal cash flows (Column 2) is evaluated ata discount rate of 12 %. The net cash flow in each year isdiscounted at 12 % to present value (Column 3). Each yearsaddition to the present value is accumulated in Column 4. Thepres
34、ent value of net benefits (PVNB) in Column 6 is derived bysubtracting the investment costs (Column 5) from the cumula-tive, discounted, future net cash flows (Column 4). The presentvalue of net cash flows equals investment costs at some pointin the fifth year. The payback period can be interpolated
35、asfollows:PB 5 4 years 10 22$3011!$4933 22$3011!5 4.389.2.3.3 Since the payback period is less than the period overwhich the project earns positive net benefits (seven years), andsince a shorter MAPP has not been specified, the project isconsidered acceptable.9.2.4 Net Cash Flows Escalating at a Con
36、stant Rate:9.2.4.1 To determine the payback period when net cashflows escalate at a constant rate, find the minimum solution ofPB in Eq 5.B2 C!*(t 5 1PB1 1 e!/1 1 i!#t5 Co(5)where:(B C)*= initial value of an annual, uniformly escalating,net cash flow, ande = constant price escalation rate per period

39、rgysavings initially worth $8000 annually is to be evaluated withan 8 % energy price escalation and a 12 % discount rate.Applying Eq 6 yields the following:PB 5log1 1 $40 000/$8000!1 2 1.12/1.08!#log 1.08/1.12!5log1 1 520.0370!#log 0.96435log 0.8150log 0.96435 5.63 years9.3 Estimating Payback Period
