1) последнее, решающее слово (обыкн. употр. с гл. to have и to say)

After many years of married life he had learned that it was more conducive to peace to leave his wife with the last word. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Rain’) — Долгие годы супружеской жизни убедили Алека, что ради мира в семье последнее слово следует оставлять за женой.

All day he had been fighting that bitter devil within and still he couldn't get the last word. (J. Lindsay, ‘A Local Habitation’, ch. 1) — С самого утра боролся Джеф с демоном, поселившимся в его душе, но так и не смог справиться с ним.

20 payback period

фін., банк. період окупності; термін окупності

1. проміжок часу, за який повністю повертаються початкові інвестовані кошти (investment²); ♦ період окупності являє собою показник, за яким визначаються та схвалюються інвестиційні проекти підприємства; за підрахунком визначається розмір річного грошового потоку (cash flow) проекту (project) відповідно до коштів початкової інвестиції; напр., початкові інвестиційні кошти, вкладені у проект, становлять 80 000 грн; підприємство зобов'язалось їх повернути інвестору через три роки, бо річний грошовий потік проекту забезпечить 30 000 грн протягом наступних трьох років; за підрахунком (3 х 30 000), проект за три роки дасть грошовий потік у сумі 90 000 грн; отже, на повернення початкових інвестиційних коштів піде часу менше, ніж визначено; проект з такими гарантіями ефективний і заохочує будь-якого інвестора. 2. проміжок часу, протягом якого сплачується позика (loan)
