Answer #1
Year Cash flows Present value@12% Cumulative Cash flows
0 (18000) (18000) (18000)
1 7000 6250 (11750)
2 9000 7174.74 (4575.26)
3 7500 5338.35 763.09(Approx).

Hence discounted Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).

=2+(4575.26/5338.35)

=2.86 years(Approx).
