Should the project be accepted or rejected?
accepted
rejected
Solution :
The discounted payback statistic of Project C is 2.85 years. The maximum allowable discounted payback period is three years.
Since the discounted payback statistic of Project C at 2.85 years is lower than the maximum allowable discounted payback period of 3 years, the project should be accepted.
