The discounted payback period for this project is 4.3 years. If Kathleen Danceware Co. accepts projects that have a discounted payback period of three years, the company will not accept the project.

We calculate the Discounted Value of the cash flows for each year with the following formula

$\mathbf{PV_{n} = \frac{FV}{(1+r)^n}}$

where

FV represents the cash flows in each of the years from year 1 to year 5

r is the firm's cost of capital at 10%

n starts from 1 for the first year ans increases sequentially until year 5

For eg, the PV of cash flows in year 3 will be

$\mathbf{PV_{3} = \frac{375,000}{(1.1)^3}} = 2,81,743.05$

The following table gives us the Discounted cash flows and cumulative discounted cash flows. The cumulative discounted cash flows column help us determining the payback period.

1 375000 3,40,909.09 3,40,909.09

2 375000 3,09,917.36 6,50,826.45

3 375000 2,81,743.05 9,32,569.50

4 375000 2,56,130.05 11,88,699.54

5 375000 2,32,845.50 14,21,545.04

We calculate Cumulative Cash flows by adding the previous year's or years' total discounted cash flows to current year's cash flows.

For e.g. $Cumulative Cash Flows_{2} = Cash flow _{1} + Cash Flow_{2}}$

Substituting the values we get,

6,50,826.45 = 3,40,909.09 + 3,09,917.36}

We calculate the cumulative cash flows for each of the following years in the same manner

From the table, we see that the project will recover its investment between 4 and 5 years.

We can find the exact time as follows:

$Discounted Payback Period = 4 + \frac{1250000 - 11,88,699.54}{2,32,845.50}$

$Discounted Payback Period = 4 + \frac{61,300.46}{2,32,845.50}$

Discounted Payback Period = 4.263266667

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
