Answer:

8 years

Explanation:

payback period the Time duration in which a project pays back the initial investment to the business in the form of cash flows.

Initial Investment = $135,000

First 2 years have variable cash flows

Recovered in first two years = $25,000 + $20,000 = $45,000

Remaining Balance after 2 years = 135,000 - $45,000 = $90,000

After 2 years there is is constant cash flow of $15,000

Pay back years for $90,000 = $90,000 / $15,000 = 6 years

Total Payback period = 2 years + 6 years = 8 years
