    option (b) 4 years

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Cost of the new machine = $380,000

    Annual cash flow = $95,000

    Rate of return = 6% = 0.06

    The present value factor = 4.212

    Now,

    The cash payback period for this investment

    = [ Amount invested ] : [ Annual Net cash flow]

    = $380,000 : $95,000 per year

    = 4 years

    Hence,

    The answer is option (b) 4 years
