In DCF calculation only the incremental has to be considered. That means that sunk costs (cost that have been spent in the past) or costs which would be spent independently from the project are not taken into account. On the other hand opportunity costs have to be considered. e.g:

- equipment and machines already exist and cannot be allocated to other projects furthermore selling into the market is not possible too => sunk cost wont influence the project decision thats why they wont be considered in the DCF calculation

- equipment and machines exists already but can be used for other existing production as replacement eg. In this case the machine has be considered because otherwise the company has to invest money for the replacement of the existing production (opportunity costs)

Blanchford Enterprises is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data What is the project's discounted payback?

To calculate the project's discounted payback period, you need to first determine the present value of each cash flow using the given Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) as the discount rate. Then, you can accumulate these discounted cash flows until they equal the initial investment. The discounted payback period is the time it takes for this accumulation to occur. If you provide the specific cash flow amounts and the WACC, I can help you calculate the exact discounted payback period.
