Discounted Cash Flow
WACC is defined ( Weighted average cost capital ) Discount Rate. Cost of equity ( CAPM ) * Common Equity + ( cost of debt) * total debt. Calculation of formula results in input for discounted cash flow.
Free cash flow is the amount of cash a company has after it has paid to expand or maintain its assets. Free cash flow gives companies the opportunity to pursue immediate opportunities that will allow them to increase shareholder profit.
Discounted cash flow (DCF) is the dominant investment-evaluation technique.

So just a refresher on Discounted Payback Period, it is the time it will take to recover an initial investment for a project given its discounted cash flows. That is, we want Net Present Value greater than 0: the income of the project will be discounted to assess the loss in value due to time (inflation or opportunity cost) to find how long it would take to recover the initially money invested. In the following situation the cash flows are as presented.YearCash Flows ($)0-20001+10002+10003+2000The first step is to calculate the discounted cash flow. Assuming the discount rate is 10%, we would apply the following formula to each cash flow:PV = CF / (1 + r)twhere CF is Cash Flow, r = 10% and t = yearYearCash Flows ($)Discounted Cash FlowAt 10% ($)0-2000-20001+10009092+10008273+20001503The next step is to compute the cumulative discounted cash flow, by summing the discounted cash flow for each year.YearCash Flows ($)Discounted Cash FlowAt 10% ($)Cumulative Discounted Cash Flows ($)0-2000-2000-20001+1000909-19012+1000827-2643+20001503+1239We see that between years 2 and 3 we will recover our initial investment. To calculate specifically when we could see how long it took to recover the 264 remaining by end of year 2 as followed:264/1503 = 0.1756 yearsThus it will take a total of 2.1756 years to recover the initial investment. If the discounted payback period is two years, this project would not be accepted.However if the cut off is any time greater than 2.1756 years the project would be accepted.And that is how you calculate discounted payback period! Apologies if there is any miscalculations, but I double checked it, should be good J.

The term 'discounted cash flow' refers to a financial valuation method used to estimate the intrinsic value of an investment or business. It involves projecting the future cash flows generated by the investment and then discounting them back to their present value using an appropriate discount rate. The discounted cash flows are then summed up to determine the net present value (NPV) of the investment.
A discounted payback method is a formula that is used to calculate how long to recoup investments based on the discounted cash flows of the investment. It is a variation of payback period or the time it takes to recover a project investment given the discounted cash flow it has.
WACC is defined ( Weighted average cost capital ) Discount Rate. Cost of equity ( CAPM ) * Common Equity + ( cost of debt) * total debt. Calculation of formula results in input for discounted cash flow.
A free cash flow valuation can sometimes be used to analyze an investment opportunity. However, there are usually better ways to analyze the investment opportunities.
