Expert Solution

As they are even cash flows so formula of payback period is:-

Payback period= Initial Investment÷Annual Cash Inflow

Payback period of Alternative A= 1000÷200

So payback period of alternative A is 5 years

Payback period of Alternative B= 2783÷1200

So payback period of Alternative B is 2.32 years
