Green caterpillar garden supplies inc. is a small firm, and several of its managers are worried about how soon the firm will be able to recover its initial investment from project alpha's expected future cash flows. to answer this question, green caterpillar's cfo 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 evenly throughout each year. complete the following table and compute the project's conventional payback period. for full credit, complete the entire table. the conventional payback period ignores the time value of money, and this concerns green caterpillar's cfo. he has now asked you to compute alpha's discounted payback period, assuming the company has a 9percentage 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 the nearest two decimal places. for full credit, complete the entire table. which version of a project's payback period should the cfo use when evaluating project alpha, given its theoretical superiority? the regular payback period the discounted 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 cash 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 deficiency? dollar 3,186,183 dollar 4,928,461 dollar 1,763,323 dollar 1,351,321
