    Investment 450K

    Cash Discounted Disc Cash flow 10% Cash Flow CumulativeCash flow
    Investment 450 1 450 (450.00)
    Year 1 130 0.909 118.17 (331.83)
    Year 2 130 0.826 107.38 (224.45)
    Year 3 130 0.751 97.63 (126.82)
    Year 4 130 0.683 88.79 (38.03)
    Year 5 150 0.621 93.15 55.12

    The answer is 4 year 5 months.

    However, based on my calculation 38.03/150 x 12 mths is 3 months.

    Can please advise, why it is 5 months instead of 3 months.

    Thank you.

    Why are you dividing it with 150?
    Thats the non-discounted profit received. You should be using its discounted amount i.e 93.15.

    (38.03/93.15) x 12 = 4.899 or 5 months.

    Hope it helped you.
