Answer:

Project b

Explanation:

The cash payback period calculates how long the amount invested in a project would be recouped from its cummulative cash flows.

Project b should be taken because the amount invested would be recouped in 1.8 years which is less than the 2 years benchmark.

The amount invested in project A would be gotten back in 2.3 years which is greater than the 2 years benchmark. This makes project A unacceptable.
