An investment project has annual cash inflows of $5,800, $6,900, $7,700, and $9,000, and a discount rate of 14 percent. Required: What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $9,000? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
1.24 years
2.49 years
3.48 years
0.74 years
1.74 years
Discounted Payback Period =
( Last Year with a Negative Cumulative Cash Flow ) + [( Absolute Value of negative Cumulative Cash Flow in that year)/ Total Present Cash Flow in the following year)]
= 1+ (3912.2807 / 5309.32594644506)
= 1.736869565 Years
Hence the correct answer is 1.74 years
Notes:
Year | Cash Flow | Discounting Factor(14%) | Present Value (Cash Flow * Discounting Factor) | Cumulative Cash Flow |
0 | -9,000 | 1 | -9000 | -9,000 |
1 | 5,800 | 0.877192982 | 5,087.71929824561 | -3,912.2807 |
