The advantage of using payback period is that its ease of use and anybody who is having limited financial knowledge can apply it. It is also beneficial for those companies who are recently established and want to know the time frame in which they would recover their original investment, therefore those companies which do not want to take risk and want quick return on their investments can select those projects which have low payback period and ignore those projects which require long gestation projects.
While disadvantage of payback period is that ignores an important concept which is time value of money and therefore may not present true picture when it comes to evaluating cash flows of a project. It also ignores cash flows beyond the payback period and therefore it does not take into account the complete return which a project can generate and therefore it may reject a project which in the long term may be beneficial for a company.
