Payback period= Full years until recovery + unrecovered cost at the start of the year/cash flow during the year

Payback method= 3 years + $7,500/ $8,900

                           = 3 years+ 0.84

                            = 3.84 years.

Discounted payback method= 6 years + 1,092.67/ 2,565.68

                                             = 6 years + 0.43

= 6.43 years.
