Sun King Computers is considering the following project. The
projected net cash flows are:
Initial Cost is $3.5 million; annual net cash flows are $815,000
per year for 7 years.
What is the Discounted Payback Period if the appropriate discount
rate is 7.5%?
Year | Cash flows | Present [email protected]% | Cumulative Cash flows |
0 | (3,500,000) | (3,500,000) | (3,500,000) |
1 | 815000 | 758139.54 | (2741860.46) |
2 | 815000 | 705246.08 | (2036614.38) |
3 | 815000 | 656042.86 | (1380571.52) |
4 | 815000 | 610272.43 | (770299.09) |
5 | 815000 | 567695.29 | (202603.8) |
6 | 815000 | 528088.64 | 325484.84 |
7 | 815000 | 491245.24 | 816730.08 |
Hence discounted Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).
=5+(202603.8/528088.64)
=5.38 years(Approx).
