1. Given the following cash flows for project Z: C0 = -2,000, C1 = 600, C2 = 2160 and
C3= 6000, calculate the discounted payback period for the project at a discount rate
of 20%.
Discounted C0 = -2,000
Discounted C1 = 600/1.2 = 500
Discounted C2 = 2,160/1.2^2 = 1,500
Discounted C3 = 6,000/1.2^3 = 3,472.22
The discounted payback period for the project is 2 years
2. Bills Biotech Co. is considering buying a new incubator that will cost $54,200 today.
Net cash flows from the incubator will be $20,608 at the end of each year for the next
five years. Also, at the end of the fifth year, Bill estimates he can sell the incubator
for $13,200. If Bills opportunity cost of capital is 15%.
a) What is the incubators payback period?
Cash flow is an equal amount each year, so payback
= (54,200/20,608)
= 2.63 years.
