Year 1 - $82,000

Year 2 - 61,000

Year 3 - 41,000

Year 4 - 33,000

Year 5 - 20,000

    Location 1

    Payback period

    = Cash outflow/Cash inflow

    = $255,000/$51,000

    0 (255,000) (255,000)

    1 82,000 (173,000)

    2 61,000 (112,000)

    3 41,000 (71,000)

    4 33,000 (38,000)

    6 18,000 0

    7 89,000

    8 64,000

    Payback period = 6 years

    Explanation:

    In location 1, we will divide the initial outlay by the annual cash inflows in order to obtain the payback period since the cash inflows are constant

    In location 2, we deduct the initial outlay from the cashflow for each year until the cash inflow is fully recovered.
