    The period of payback of the project is 2.30 years. Therefore, the correct answer is C

    Explanation:

    We will computing the Cumulative Cash Flow from Year 0 to Year 3

    Cumulative Cash Flow Year 0 = Cash Flow of Year 0

    = - $1,150

    Cumulative Cash Flow of Year 1 = Cash Flow of Year 1 + Cash Flow of Year 0

    = $500 + (-$1,150)

    = - $650

    Cumulative Cash Flow of Year 2 = Cash Flow of Year 2 + Cumulative Cash Flow Cash Flow of Year 1

    = $500 + (-$650)

    = - $150

    Cumulative Cash Flow of Year 3 = Cash Flow of Year 3 + Cumulative Cash Flow Cash Flow of Year 2

    = $500 + (-$150)

    = $350

    Now, Computing the Pay back period with the formula:

    Pay back period = 2 + (Cumulative Cash Flow of year 2 / Cash flow of year 3)

    = 2 + (-$150 / $500)

    = 2 + 0.3

    = 2.3 years
