Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows

Payback period = amount invested / cash flow = $7,125,000 / $1,875,000 = 3.8 years

NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-7,125,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $1,875,000

I = 12%
