DISCOUNTED PAYBACK PERIOD
This procedure is used to determine a project’s profitability.

Future cash flows are considered are discounted to time "zero." This procedure is similar to a payback period; however, the payback period only measure how long it take for the initial cash outflow to be paid back, ignoring the time value of money.
