Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).
Hence initial cost=300,000+400,000+(425,000*0.5)=912500
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=300,000/1.08+400,000/1.08^2+425,000/1.08^3+450,000/1.08^4
=1288855.44
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=1288855.44-912500
=$376355(Approx).
The correct option is :
The discounted payback method does not take the project's entire life into account.
Discounted payback method considers cash flows only till the time period the initial investment is recovered and not cash flows beyond that period.

Suppose you are evaluating a project with the expected future cash inflows shown in the following table. Your boss has asked you to calculate the project's net present value (NPV). You don't know the project's initial cost, but you do know the project's regular, or conventional, payback period is 2.50 years. If the project's ~WACC~ is 7%, the project's NPV (rounded to the nearest dollar) is: Year Cash Flo Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 $450,000 Year 3 $450,000 Year 4...
