	Time	0	1	2	3	4	5
i	Cash flow	-233000	$65,600	$83,800	$140,800	$121,800	$81,000
ii	PVIF @ 11%	1.0000	0.9009	0.8116	0.7312	0.6587	0.5935
iii=i*ii	present value	(233,000.00)	59,099.10	68,013.96	102,951.75	80,233.43	48,069.56
iv	Cumulative dicounted cash flow	(233,000.00)	(173,900.90)	(105,886.94)	(2,935.19)	77,298.24	125,367.80

	therefore discounted payback period=		3+2935.19/80233.43
			3.04	Year
	We can see that discounted payback period of 3.04 is higher than required discounted payback period of 3 year.
	therefore project should not be accepted.
	Ans =	REJECTED
