Answer: 2.8 years

Explanation

Calculation of Pay Back Period
Year Cash Inflow Cumulative Net  
(Out Flow) ($) Cash Inflow (Out Flow) ($)
0                                 (420,000.00)                         (420,000.00)
1                                  145,000.00                         (275,000.00)
2                                  151,000.00                         (124,000.00)
3                                  162,000.00                            38,000.00
4                                  125,000.00                          163,000.00
5                                  167,000.00                          330,000.00
Payback period = 2nd year + (124,000 / 162,000)
= 2.8 years
