Please refer attached file for better clarity of tables.

a. Compute PB

Period Cash flow Cumulative
t Ct cash flow
1 125 125
2 75 200
3 200 400
4 125 525

We find that initial investment of $350 is recovered in 3rd year.
Amount to be recovered in 3rd year=TB=350-200=$150.00
Total cash flow in 3rd year=TC=$200.00
Payback period=2+(TB/TC)=2.75 Years

b. Compute DPB

Period Cash flow PV @9% Cumulative
t Ct Ct/(1+9%)^t PV
1 125 114.68 114.68
2 75 63.13 ...
