Answer: 2.36 years

Explanation:

Payback period is the amount of time it will take to pay off the initial investment/ outlay which in this case is $15,700.

= Year before investment is paid + (Amount remaining/ Cashflow in year of Payback)

Add up the cashflows to find the year before payback;

= 6,400 + 7,700

= $14,100

Year before payback = 2

Amount remaining;

= 15,700 - 14,100

= $1,600

Payback period = 2 + (1,600/ 4,500)

= 2.36 years
