So the project has $1,000 in initial costs and has apresent value earned in year 1 of $454.55. After year one there are still $545.45 leftto recover. Year 2 as a present value earned of $330.58 leaving $214.87 left torecover after year 2. The present value of the cash flows in year 3 is higher than that$214.87 so we know it will only take part of year 3 to recover the cash flows. Tocompute the fraction of the year it will take we divide the remaining cost to recoverof $214.87 by the present value of the cash flows earned in year 3 of $225.39. Thistells us that it will take .95 of the third year. Therefore the discounted payback. Is 2.95years.
What is the discounted payback period for project B?
