Compute the discounted payback statistic for Project C if the appropriate cost of capital is 6 percent and the maximum allowable discounted payback period is three years. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Project C Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flow –$2,900 $1,240 $1,050 $1,090 $680 $480 Discounted payback period years Should the project be accepted or rejected? Rejected Accepted
Answer :-
Cash Flow | ||||
Year | Project(A) | PVF@6% | PV | CCF |
0 | -2,900 | 1.000 | -2,900.000 | |
1 | 1,240 | 0.943 | 1,169.811 | 1,169.81 |
2 | 1,050 | 0.890 | 934.496 | 2,104.31 |
3 | 1,090 | 0.840 | 915.185 | 3,019.49 |
4 | 680 | 0.792 | 538.624 | 3,558.12 |
5 | 480 | 0.747 | 358.684 | 3,916.80 |
6 | 3,000 | 0.705 | 2,114.882 | 6,031.68 |
7 | 1,000 | 0.665 | 665.057 | 6,696.74 |
Discounted PBP | ||||
Project | 2 + 796/915 | 2.870 | Years |
Here the Discount PBP is less than the maximum allowable period of 3 Years Hence the project is acceptable.
