The payback period The payback method helps firms establish and identify a maximum acceptable payback period that helps in their capital budgeting decisions. Consider the case of Cute Camel Woodcraft Company: Cute Camel Woodcraft Company is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initiol investment from Project Sigma's expected future cash flows. To answer this question, Cute Cameis CFO has asked that you compute the project's payback period using the following expected net cosh 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. (Note: Round the conventional payback peniod to two decimal places. If your answer is negative, be sure to use a minus sign in your answee) The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Cute Camel's CFO. He has now asked you to compute Sigma's. discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 9% cost of capital, Complete the following table and perform any necessary caiculations. Round the discounted cash flow values to the nearest whole doliar, 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.) Which version of a project's payback period should the CFO use when evaluating Project Sigma, given its theoretical superiority? The regular payback period The discounted payback period How much value in this example does the discounted payback period method fall to recognize due to this theoretical deficiency? $4,928,461$3,186,183$1,351,321$1,763,323
