Consider this case: Fuzzy Button Clothing Company is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initial investment from Project Alpha's expected future cash flows. To answer this question Fuzzy Button's CFO has asked that you compute the project's payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received evenly throughout each year. Complete the following table and compute the project's conventional payback period. For full credit, complete the entire table. Year 2 Year 3 Year O -6,000,000 $2,400,000 $5,100,000 $2,100,000 Year 1 Expected cash flow Cumulative cash flow Conventional payback period: The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Fuzzy Button's CFO. He has novw asked you to compute Alpha's discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 7% cost of capital. Complete the following table and perform any necessary calculations. Round the discounted cash flow values to the n whole dollar, and the discounted payback period to the nearest two decimal places. For full credit, complete the calculations. Round the discounted cash flow values to the nearest
