To calculate a more exact payback period: Payback Period = Amount to be Invested/Estimated Annual Net Cash Flow. [4] It can also be calculated using the formula: Payback Period = (p - n)÷p + n y = 1 + n y - n÷p (unit:years) Where n y = The number of years after the initial investment at which the last negative value of cumulative cash flow ...
In business and for engineering economics in both industrial engineering and civil engineering practice, the minimum acceptable rate of return, often abbreviated MARR, or hurdle rate is the minimum rate of return on a project a manager or company is willing to accept before starting a project, given its risk and the opportunity cost of forgoing other projects.

Each cash inflow/outflow is discounted back to its present value (PV). Then all are summed such that NPV is the sum of all terms: = (+) where: t is the time of the cash flow; i is the discount rate, i.e. the return that could be earned per unit of time on an investment with similar risk
The discounted payback period (DPB) is the amount of time that it takes (in years) for the initial cost of a project to equal to the discounted value of expected cash flows, or the time it takes to break even from an investment. [1] It is the period in which the cumulative net present value of a project equals zero.
Triple bottom line (TBL or 3BL) is an accounting framework widely adopted by large organizations since its introduction in 1994 by John Elkington. [9] Organizations can use it to evaluate their performance in a broader perspective to create greater business value [10] or to make decisions on where to allocate resources for the highest organizational return for all key stakeholders.

The formula to calculate the residual value can be seen with the next example as follows: A company owns a machine which was bought for €20,000. This machine has a useful life of five years, which has just ended. The company knows that if it sells the machine now, it will be able to recover 10% of the price of acquisition. [6]
