Discounted payback period: Year Project A Discount rate 1 5 % PV of cash flows Cummulative cash flows Project B PV of cash flows Cummulative

Discounted payback period:
Year Project A Discount rate 15% PV of cash flows Cummulative cash flows Project B PV of cash flows Cummulative cash flows
1 $450000.8696 $39132 $39132 $24000 $20870 $20870
2 $650000.7561 $49146 $88278 $22000 $16634 $37504
3 $650000.6575 $42738 $131016 $19500 $12821 $50325
4 $4400000.5718 $251592 $382608 $14600 $8348 $58673
Total PV cash flows $382608 $58673
Initial investment ($350000)($50000)
NPV $32608 $8673
Discounted payback period :
Project A =3+0.87
=3.87 years
Project B =2+0.97
=2.97 years.
NPV:
Project A = $32608
Project B = $8673
Profitability index = PV of cash inflows / PV of cash outflows
Project A = $382608/ $350000
=1.09
Project B = $58673/ $50000
=1.17.
Why do you not start the discounted payback period from 0? Wouldn't the cumulative cash flows be different resulting in a different payback period?
