0 -20000 1 -20000 -20000
1 11000 .90909 9999.99 -10000.01      [-20000+9999.99]
2 9680 .82645 8000.04 -1999.97    [-10000.01+8000.04]
3 10648 .75131 7999.95 5999.98    [-1999.97+7999.95]
4 58564 .68301 39999.80

45999.78     [5999.98+39999.98]

**Discount factoris calculating using the formula 1/(1+i)^n or can be find from the present value table at 10% for 1,2,3,4

Discounted payback period = Year up to which cummulative discounted cash flow is negative +[ discounted cummulative cash flow of that period /discounted cash flow of next year]

         = 2+ [1999.97/7999.95]
