The computation of the payback period of the given machine is shown below:
<u>Year Initial outflow Cash flow Cumulative cash flow</u>
(52000)
1 10,000 10,000
2 10,000 20,000
3 10,000 30,000
4 8,000 38,000
5 8,000 46,000
6 2,000 48,000
7 2,000 50,000
8 4,000 54000
9 4,000 58000
10 4,000 62000
Now the Payback period is
= Completed years+ required cash ÷ annual cash inflow
= 7 years + 2000 ÷ 4000
