Answer:
The project will never pay the initial investment.
Explanation:
<u>The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment.</u>
We need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= Cf/(1+i)^n
PV1= 3,700/1.075= 3,441.86
PV2= 4,900/1.075^2= 4,240.13
PV3= 2,500/1.075^3= 2,012.40
<u>Now, the payback period:</u>
Year 1= 3,441.86 - 10,600= -7,158.14
Year 2= 4,240.13 - 7,158.14= -2,918
Year 3= 2,010.4 - 2,918= -907.6
The project will never pay the initial investment.
