To answer this question, Blue Hamster's Cro has asked that you compute the project's payback period using the following expected net cash flows and assuming that the cash flows are received avenly throughout each wear Complete the following table and compute the project's conventional payback period. Round the conventional payback period to two decimal place For negative values, be sure to include a minus sign in your answer. For full credit, complete the entire table Year o Year 1 $2,400,000 Year 2 55,100,000 Year 3 $2,100,000 -6.000.000 Expected cash flow Cumulative cash flow Conventional payback period: Vears The conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns Blue Hamster's CFO. He has now asked you to compute Delta's discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 10% cost of capital. Complete the following table and perform any necessary calculations Round the discounted cash flow values to the nearest whole dollar, and the discounted payback period to two decimal places. For negative values, be sure to include a minus sign in your answet. For full credit, complete the entire table A-Z Year Year 1 $2,400,000 -6,000,000 Year 2 $5,100,000 Year 3 $2.100,000 S Cash flow Discounted cash flow Cumulative discounted cash flow Discounted payback period: years which version of a projects parback period should the CFO use when evaluating Project Delta given its theoretical Superiority The discounted paytrack period The regular payback period po Which version of a project's payback period should the CFO use when evaluating Project Delta, given its theoretical superiority? The discounted payback period The regular payback period One theoretical disadvantage of both payback methods-compared to the net present value method --Is that they fail to consider the value of the cath flows beyond the point in time equal to the payback period. How much value does the discounted payback period method fail to recognize due to this theoretical deficlency? $3.759,579 $5,792,637 51,974,455 O $1,577,761 Grade It Now Save & Continue
