Given the following cash flows for a capital project for the Witter Corp., calculate its payback period and discounted payback period. The required rate of return is 8 percent. Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000; Year 1 = 15,000; Year 2 = 15,000; Year 3 = 20,000; Year 4 = 10,000; and Year 5 = 5,000. The discounted payback period is

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.01 years  

Explanation:

The computation of the discounted payback period is shown below;

Given that

Required rate of return is 8%

Cashflows: Year 0 = -50,000;

Year 1 = 15,000;

Year 2 = 15,000;

Year 3 = 20,000;

Year 4 = 10,000;

and Year 5 = 5,000

As we can see from the attached table that approx in 4 years it could cover $49,975

So

the discounted payback period is

= 4 years  + ($50,000 - $49,975.91) ÷ $3,402.92

= 4.01 years
