| loisliu88 | can anyone explain it for me. thanks | 
| Patrick15 | the discounted payback rate will decrease the value of the returns, the payback period maintains the present value without discounting, so each payment is worth relatively more | 
| jonan203 | if a $1,000 investment pays $250 every year for four years, if you discount each $250 payment by x% discount rate, you wouldn't have your $1,000 investment back in the fourth year no matter what discount rate you used. the larger the discount rate, the larger the payback period becomes  | 
    		
| Shaan23 | DOes it matter if its Conventional or Non conventional? Isnt it the same for both?  | 
    		
| jabiller | I believe conventional means always positive cashflow and non means there would be negative cashflows or returns. | 
| MathLoser | Time value of money, guys. |
