Project A requires a $295,000 initial investment for new machinery. Project A is expected to yield income of $21,700 per year and net cash flow of $73,300 per year for the next five years. Compute Project A's payback period. Numerator: Payback Period Denominator: = Payback Period = Payback period = A machine can be purchased for $50,000 and used for five years, yielding the following income. This income computation includes annual depreciation expense of $10,000. Income Year 1 $3,300 Year 2 $8,300 Year 3 $30,000 Year 4 $12,400 Year 5 $33,200 Compute the machine's payback period. Note: Round payback period answer to 2 decimal places.
