Answer:
C. A capital expenditure.
Explanation:
This is an example of a capital expenditure as it makes significant improvements to the machines and extends the life considerably.
These types of expenses are capitalized in the balance sheets under the original asset name and the asset is revalued by the improvement cost and stated at net book value + improvement.
Revised depreciation is then calculated on this new NBV as applicable with increased life of asset.

Answer:
C) 4.2 years
Explanation:
The computation of the payback period is as follows;
As we know that
Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow
Here
Initial cost = $278000
Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year
where,
Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life
= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years
= $31,000
Annual net cash flow is
= $35000 + $31000
= $66000
So,
Payback Period is
= $278000 ÷ $66000
= 4.2 Years
