    Explanation:

    Year Inflows Discount rate 10% PV of cash inflows Cumulative value

    1 $6,000 0.9090909091 $5,454.55 $5,454.55

    2 $12000 0.826446281 $9,917.36 $15,371.90

    3 $9,000 0.7513148009 $6,761.83 $22,133.73

    4 $14,000 0.6830134554 $9,562.19 $31,695.92

    Total present value $31,695.92

    Now the discounted payback period is

    = 2 + ($20,000 - $15,371.90) : ($6761.83)

    = 2 + 0.68 years

    = 2.68 years
