Answer:
C. 3.57 years
Explanation:
Payback period is the number of years a project takes to fully recover the initial amount invested.
Yr CF Net CF
0 = -100,000 -100,000
1 =28,000 - 72,000
2 =28,000 - 44,000
3 =28,000 -16,000
4 =28,000 12,000
5 =28,000 40,000
Payback period= Last yr with -Net CF +[tex]\frac{(absolute Net CF that year)}{Total CF the following year}[/tex]
Payback = 3 +(16,000/28,000)
=3 +0.57
=3.57 years
