Criticisms of Payback and Simple Rate of Return Methods

Payback Period and Simple Rate of Return Methods are among the tools used in capital budget budgeting. Payback period measures the length of time to recoup an investment, while the simple rate of return method, also known as Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) provides the expected income for the entire life of a capital investment (Investopedia, 2014).
