Math Problem Statement

An investment project has annual cash inflows of $4,300 , $5,500, $6,400, and $7,800, and a discount rate of 13 percent. What is the discounted payback period for these cash flows if the initial cost is $9,000? What if the initial cost is $12,000? What if it is $16,000?

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the discounted payback period. The discounted payback period accounts for the time value of money by discounting future cash flows before determining the payback period.

Key Concepts and Formulas

  1. Discount Factor: The discount factor is calculated using the formula: Discount Factor=1(1+r)t\text{Discount Factor} = \frac{1}{(1 + r)^t} where:

    • rr is the discount rate (13% in this case, or 0.13).
    • tt is the year number (1, 2, 3, etc.).
  2. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF): The discounted cash flow for each year is calculated as: Discounted Cash Flow=Cash Inflow×Discount Factor\text{Discounted Cash Flow} = \text{Cash Inflow} \times \text{Discount Factor}

  3. Cumulative Discounted Cash Flow: The cumulative discounted cash flow is the
