1.)

The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Green Caterpillars CFO. He has now asked you to compute Alphas discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 9% cost of capital. Complete the following table and perform any necessary calculations. Round the discounted cash flow values to the nearest whole dollar, and the discounted payback period to two decimal places. For full credit, complete the entire table. (Note: If your answer is negative, be sure to use a minus sign in your answer.)

	Year 0	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3
Cash flow	-$4,500,000	$1,800,000	$3,825,000	$1,575,000
Discounted cash flow
Cumulative discounted cash flow
Discounted payback period:	years
