Expert Solution

We first computed the discounted cash flows as cash flows/ (1+rate)^n

Then we find the cumulative discounted cash flows

Discounted payback = Year in which Discounted Cumulative CF is last negative -(Last negative discounted cumulative CF/ CF of next year)

		0%		3%		21%
Year	cash flows	Discounted CF	Cumulative DCF	Discounted CF	Cumulative DCF	Discounted CF	Cumulative DCF
0	-15300	-15300	-15300	-15300	-15300	-15300	-15300
1	3500	3500	-11800	3398.058	-11901.9	2892.562	-12407.4
