we only know the disadvantages: The cash flows beyond the payback period are ignored..
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.
Simple payback method do not care about the time-value of money principle while discounted payback period do take care of this principle in calculation.
Advantage and disadvantage of project method
the payback method ... is a method to evaluate the project in capital budgeting ... or simply in a long term dicision making for the entity .and because it is a long term in nature ..... the risk is high ... by evaluatining methods ... we try to reduce the uncertinity ... one of the methods ...is payback method . the disadvantage of the payback method is ...it does not concern with the time value of money theory ....the second one is ...it ignore the incash flow and the outcash flow of the project , after the payback period .
The method is simple and easy to be use

It's not a direct measure of a project's contribution to stockholder's wealth. You may reject project's that should be accepted when using the NPV analysis (best method used for determining whether or not a project is accepted in Capital Budgeting). Discounted Payback Period AdvantagesConsiders the time value of money Considers the riskiness of the project's cash flows (through the cost of capital) Disadvantages No concrete decision criteria that indicate whether the investment increases the firm's value Requires an estimate of the cost of capital in order to calculate the payback Ignores cash flows beyond the discounted payback periodYounes Aitouazdi: University of Houston Downtown
