Answer:

The answer is 8.9 years

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

purchase of new equipment = $578,500

Net annual cash flows =$65,000

The useful life = 10 years

Annual depreciation = $57.850

Now, we have to compute the cash payback period which given below:

The payback period (cash) = cost of capital investment/net annual cash flows

=$578.500/$65,000

=8.9 years

The cash payback period is 8.9 years
