Following table shows the initial investment required in and cash flow (return) from a project:
The expected payback period from the project is 2 years and the discount rate is 14%. Based on the Discounted Payback Period, will you accept the project?
The Net Present value of proceedings from the project during Discounted payback period of 2 years
= -Initial investment + cashflow from Year 1 /( 1+r) + cashflow from year 2 / ( 1+r)^2
r is the discount rate
NPV for 2 years = -190+110/1.14 +93/(1.14)^2
= -190+96.49+71.56
=-21.95
Since the NPV at the end of payback period is negative, the project should not be accepted.
NPV for 2 years is -21.95.
