Answer:

The payback period of the investment is 6.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In order to calculate the payback period of the investment we would have to make the following calculation:

payback period of the investment=Year before full recovery+(Unrecovered cost at the start/cash flow during the year )

payback period of the investment=6+ ($23,000−$20,500) /$5,000

payback period of the investment=6.5 Years

The payback period of the investment is 6.5 years
