    Explanation:

    Since the income tax is ignored, so the operating cash flows would be

    = EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

    = $105,000 + $45,000 - $0

    = $150,000

    The operating cash flows are same for ten years

    And, the initial investment is $450,000

    So, the payback period would be

    = Initial investment : Net cash flows

    = $450,000 : $150,000

    = 3 years
