A project has an initial setup cost of $10,000 and is expected to deliver an annual cash flow of $2,200 for ten years. If the appropriate discount rate is 10%, find the discounted payback period. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer : Below is the table showing Discounted Cash Flows
Year | Cash Flow | PVF @ 10% | Present value of cash Flows | Cumulative Cash Flows |
1 | 2200 | 0.909090909 | 2000 | 2000 |
2 | 2200 | 0.826446281 | 1818.181818 | 3818.181818 |
3 | 2200 | 0.751314801 | 1652.892562 | 5471.07438 |
4 | 2200 | 0.683013455 | 1502.629602 | 6973.703982 |
5 | 2200 | 0.620921323 | 1366.026911 | 8339.730893 |
6 | 2200 | 0.56447393 | 1241.842646 | 9581.573539 |
7 | 2200 | 0.513158118 | 1128.94786 | 10710.5214 |
8 | 2200 | 0.46650738 | 1026.316236 | 11736.83764 |
9 | 2200 | 0.424097618 | 933.0147604 | 12669.8524 |
10 | 2200 | 0.385543289 | 848.1952367 | 13518.04763 |
Discounted Payback Perod = Complete years + (Initial Investment - Cash Flow Recovered) / Cash flow to be recovered
= 6 + (10000 - 9581.573539) / 1128.94786
= 6.37 years or 6 years
