Answer #1
Year Cash flows Present value@11% Cumulative Cash flows
0 (9500) (9500) (9500)
1 6600 5945.95 (3554.05)
2 7700 6249.49 2695.44
3 8500 6215.13 8910.57
4 9800 6455.56 15366.13(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).

=1+(3554.05/6249.49)

=1.57 years(Approx).
