Answer:
The cash payback period is 3.5 years. The answer is True.
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Year Cash flows Cumulative Cash flows
0 (90,000) (90,000)
1 36,000 (54,000)
2 30,000 (24,000)
3 18,000 (6000)
4 12000 6000
5 6000 12,000
To calculate the cash payback period we use the following formula:
Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).
Payback period=3+($6,000/$12,000)
Payback period=3.5 years
The cash payback period is 3.5 years. True

Explanation:
Interest Rate is negatively related to Investment. Higher Interest Rate increases cost of investment, lower interest rate reduces cost of investment.
However, Investment in a particular sector/ industry is also defined by: Concentration of that sector in entire investment outlay & Income Elasticity of the sector's commodity demand. Implicatively, a sector with huge concentration of investment outlay & products with high income elasticity will have more Interest rate sensitive Investment and vice versa.
Construction Industry being very capital intensive has higher investment magnitude & also more Income Elastic demand. So, impact of higher interest rate will impact this industry more.
Necessity goods Industries are less capital intensive , investment concentrated & also have less Income Elastic Demand. So, impact of higher interest rate will impact this industry less.
<em>(Demand's Income Elasticity is the responsiveness of a good's demand to change in Income. It is more in luxurious goods, less in necessity goods)</em>
