4.66 years

Explanation:

he formula to compute the payback period is shown below:

= Initial investment : Net cash flow

where,

Initial investment is $359,020

And, the net cash flow = annual net operating income + depreciation expenses

= $29,900 + $47,160

= $77,060

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= ($359,020) : ($77,060)

= 4.66 years
