Kiersten Collins · Answer 1

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial cost = $150,000

One-time training cost = 12,000

Annual maintenance costs = 15,000

Annual cost savings = 75,000

Salvage value = 20,000

Cash payback period = Initial Investment : Net annual cash inflows

= [ ($150,000 + $12,000) : ($75,000 - $15,000) ]

= $162,000 : $60,000

= 2.7 years
