Respuesta :

Answer:

2.12 years

Explanation:

The calculation of the payback period is given below:

Year           CF             Cumulative CF

0         $(1,450,000)       $(1,450,000)

1            640,000            (810,000)

2           715,250            (94,750)

3           823,330           728,580

4           907,125           1,635,705

Now payback period is  

= 2 + ($94,750 ÷$823,330)

= 2.12 years
