Year Cash Flow Year 1 $375,000 Year 2 $475,000 Year 3 $425,000 Year 4 $500,000 If the project's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 7%, what is its NPV? $409,664 $366,541 $431,225 $517,470
Which of the following statements indicate a disadvantage of using the discounted payback period for capital budgeting decisions? Check all that apply.

Ans $431225

The discounted payback period does not take the project's entire life into account.

Year Project Cash Flows (i) DF@ 7% DF@ 7% (ii) PV of Project ( (i) * (ii) )
0 -1062500 1 1                          (10,62,500)
1 375000 1/((1+7%)^1) 0.934579                               3,50,467
2 475000 1/((1+7%)^2) 0.873439                               4,14,883
3 425000 1/((1+7%)^3) 0.816298                               3,46,927
4 500000 1/((1+7%)^4) 0.762895                               3,81,448
    NPV                               4,31,225
         
  Cash Outflow = Year 1 + Year2 + 0.5* Year 3  
    375000 + 475000 + 0.5*425000  
    1062500
