Answer:
c. 2.36 years
Explanation:
In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:
In year 0 = $750
In year 1 = $300
In year 2 = $325
In year 3 = $350
If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $625
Now we deduct the $625 from the $750 , so the amount would be $125 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it
And, the next year cash inflow is $350
So, the payback period equal to
= 2 years + ($125 ÷ $350)
= 2.36 years
In 2.36 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.
