## Question:

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. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Project C

 Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Cash flow -$2,300$1,000 $870$910 $560$360

 Discounted payback period years

Should the project be accepted or rejected?
