Answer:

1.8 years

Explanation:

the net cash flow per year = [(total sales revenue - total costs) x (1 - tax rate)] +  depreciation

  • total sales revenue = $254,000
  • total costs = $126,000
  • depreciation costs = $35,000
  • taxes = 0

the net cash flow per year = $254,000 - $126,000 + $35,000 = $163,000

the payback period = total investment / net cash flow = $289,000 / $163,000 = 1.77 years, which is closest to 1.8 years

The payback period is the time it takes the project to recover the initial investment required to carry it out.
