Complete the following table and compute the project's conventional payback period. For full credit, complete the entire table. $($Note: Round the

conventional payback period to the nearest two decimal places. If your answer is negative use a minus sign.$)$

The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Cold Goose's CFO. He has now asked you to compute Beta'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 nearest whole dollar, and the discounted payback period to the nearest two decimal places. For full

credit, complete the entire table. $($Note: If your answer is negative use a minus sign.$)$

Which version of a project's payback period should the CFO use when evaluating Project Beta, given its theoretical superiority?

The regular payback period

The discounted payback period

One theoretical disadvantage of both payback methods$-$compared to the net present value method$-$is that they fail to consider the value of the cash

flows beyond the point in time equal to the payback period.

How much value does the discounted payback period method fail to recognize due to this theoretical deficiency?

$$1,714,226$

$$2,411,755$

$$6,168,764$

$$3,957,217$
