Answer:

The project will never pay the initial investment.

Explanation:

The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment.

We need to use the following formula on each cash flow:

PV= Cf/(1+i)^n

PV1= 3,700/1.075= 3,441.86

PV2= 4,900/1.075^2= 4,240.13

PV3= 2,500/1.075^3= 2,012.40

Now, the payback period:

Year 1= 3,441.86 - 10,600= -7,158.14

Year 2= 4,240.13 - 7,158.14= -2,918

Year 3= 2,010.4 - 2,918= -907.6

The project will never pay the initial investment.
