Compute the discounted payback statistic for Project C if the appropriate cost of capital is 7 percent and the maximum allowable discounted payback period is three years. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) Project C Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flow: –$1,700 $760 $690 $730 $440 $240
Solution :
The discounted payback statistic for Project C if the appropriate cost of capital is 7 percent is = 2.65 years
Since the Discounted payback period is = 2.65 years which is lesser than the maximum allowable discounted payback period of 3 years, the project should be accepted.
