    2.89 years

    Explanation:

    The computation of the payback period is shown below:

    As we know that

    Payback period = Initial investment : Annual cash inflow

    where,

    The Initial investment is $45,000

    And, the annual cash inflow is

    = Net income + depreciation expense

    = $8,050 + $7,500

    = $15,550

    So, the payback period is

    = $45,000 : $15,550

    = 2.89 years
