Answer #1
Year Cash Flows Cummulative Cash Flow Working Cummulative Cash Flows
0          (6,800)                                                         (6,800)                                        (6,800)
1            1,950      -6800+1950                                        (4,850)
2            4,100    -4850+4100                                           (750)
3            1,750 -750 + 1750                                          1,000
4            1,450 1000+1450                                          2,450

.

.

Pay Back Period  for the above set of cash flows = 2 + (750/1,750)

= 2 + 0.4286

= 2.4286 years

= 2.43 years.

.

.

Note:

$6,050 is recovered in first 2 years

Balance $750 (6,800-6,050) is recovered in 0.43 years (750/1,750)

So , payback period is 2.43 years.
