Question

The management of L Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $260,000 and would last for 6 years.

Answer 1

2.04 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

To derive cash flows from net income, add depreciation to net income.

$110,000 + $17,000 = $127,000

Payback period = $260,000 / $127,000 = 2.04 years
