i sa he ECR NVQ in June and just had a look at the exam on the websiteIn the xam i calculated my payback to be 2years & 8 months.When i asked everyone at college they got 2 years and 1 month.I thought i must have being wrong but just re done the question and i got 2 years and 8 months again!!!!!!!!!!!!If you got 2 years and 1month can you show me your calculation?Also i put the break even point,target profit and margin of safety in units rather than revenue will i still get the majority of the marks if i put:

breakeven point 625000 units
sales units to reach target profit of 200000:1025000 units
mos in units 468750
mos in% 45.73

thanks
chris

    The payback is calculated on the figures before they are discounted and not after. In this case 400-150-225 is 25 then divide by 200 and times by 12 this gives you 1.5 Which gives the answer as being 2 years and 1 1/2 months.

    The 2 years 8 months was calculated using the discounted figures.
