Answer #1

Payback Period = ( Last Year with a Negative Cash Flow ) + [( Absolute Value of negative Cash Flow in that year)/ Total Cash Flow in the following year)]

= 3 + ( 4,000 / 6,000 )

=3.67 Years

= 3.7 Years

Hence the correct answer is 3.7 Years

Year Investment Cash Inflow Net Cash Flow
1 -18,000 4,000 -14,000 (Investment + Cash Inflow)
2 -5,000 4,000 -15,000 (Net cash Flow +Investment + Cash Inflow)
3 -    11,000 -4,000 (Net Cash Flow + Cash Inflow)
4 -    6,000 2,000 (Net Cash Flow + Cash Inflow)
5 -    6,000 8,000 (Net Cash Flow + Cash Inflow)
