    The payback period for the investment is 1.41 years

    Explanation:

    The payback period is the length of time it takes an investment to repay back the investment capital outlay committed to it at the inception of the project.

    The payback period is computed as the initial investment divided by annual cash inflow

    Initial investment is $1,200,000

    Annual cash inflow is $850,000

    Payback period=$1,200,000/$850,000 = 1.41 years

    We can express the 0.41 in months=0.41*12=4.92 approximately 5 months
