Explanation:

Payback period is the time in which initial investment is recovered from project cash inflows. It shows the time to pack back the initially cost incurred on the project or asset.

Cost to project = $8,000

Payback period = Cost of project / additional revenue

Payback period = $8,000 / $1,280

Payback period = 6.25 years

Payback period = 6 years 3 months
