Answer 1

Answer:

c. 2.42 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is shown below:

Year        Cash flow         Cumulative cash flow

0               -$475                     -$475

1                  $150                     -$325

2                 $200                    -$125

3                  $300                    $175

Now the payback period is

= 2 years + $125 ÷ $300

= 2.42 years
