Problem 11-5
Discounted payback
Project K costs $45,000, its expected cash inflows are $11,000 per year for 8 years, and its WACC is 8%. What is the project's discounted payback? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Year | Cash flows | Present value@8% | Cumulative Cash flows |
0 | (45000) | (45000) | (45000) |
1 | 11000 | 10185.19 | (34814.81) |
2 | 11000 | 9430.73 | (25384.08) |
3 | 11000 | 8732.15 | (16651.93) |
4 | 11000 | 8085.33 | (8566.6) |
5 | 11000 | 7486.42 | (1080.18) |
6 | 11000 | 6931.87 | 5851.69(Approx) |
This table would continue upto year 8.
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+(1080.18/6931.87)
=5.16 years(Approx).
