Answer #1
Year Cash flows Cumulative Cash flows
0 (10,000) (10,000)
1 1800 (8200)
2 3600 (4600)
3 5000 400
4 6000 6400

Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).

=2+(4600/5000)

=2.92 years.
