Consider the following 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 Omegas expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Fuzzy Buttons CFO has asked that you compute the projects 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 projects conventional payback period. Round the payback period to the nearest two decimal places. Be sure to complete the entire tableeven if the values exceed the point at which the cost of the project is recovered.

	Year 0	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3
Expected cash flow	-$6,000,000	$2,400,000	$5,100,000	$2,100,000
Cumulative cash flow
Conventional payback period:	years

The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Fuzzy Buttons CFO. He has now asked you to compute Omegas discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 8% 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. Again, be sure to complete the entire tableeven if the values exceed the point at which the cost of the project is recovered.

	Year 0	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3
Cash flow	-$6,000,000	$2,400,000	$5,100,000	$2,100,000
Discounted cash flow
Cumulative discounted cash flow
Discounted payback period:	years

Which version of a projects payback period should the CFO use when evaluating Project Omega, given its theoretical superiority?

A.) The discounted payback period

B.) The regular payback period
