a.Project 1

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

Payback period= 3 years + 170/ 330

                              = 3 years + 0.52

                              = 3.52 years.        

b.Project 2

Payback period= 3 years + 175/ 200

                              = 3 years + 0.88

                              = 3.8 years.

Project 1 is less risky based on liquidity risk since it has the shorter payback period.
