| Payback Period | ||
|---|---|---|
| Payback period is simple and easy to understand. It focuses on the recovery of initial investment. However, it ignores cash flows beyond the payback period and does not consider the time value of money. | ||

| Net Present Value (NPV) | ||

| NPV takes into account the time value of money. It considers all cash flows over the project's life. Positive NPV indicates profitability and value creation. | ||

| Internal Rate of Return (IRR) | ||

| IRR calculates the discount rate at which NPV equals zero. It represents the project's profitability. Projects with higher IRR are preferred as they generate higher returns. | ||

| Capital Budgeting Techniques Comparison | ||

| Payback period is quick but does not consider the time value of money. NPV considers the time value of money and all cash flows. IRR is useful for comparing projects but may have multiple solutions. | ||
