    The payback period for the $90000 investment is 5 years.

    Explanation:

    Payback period=Initial outlay/Annual net cash flow

    This requires that the initial capital investment must be established, which is $90000

    However, the investment gives expected incremental cash inflows of $50000 as well as outflows of $32000, as a result, annual net cash flow is $18000 ($50000-$32000)

    In other words, payback period is $90000/$18000=5 years

    The payback refers to number of years it takes the initial investment to be recouped. This means that any net cash inflows after 5 years are the project's return.
