    The cash payback period is 3.5 years. The answer is True.

    Explanation:

    According to the given data we have the following:

    Year Cash flows Cumulative Cash flows

    0 (90,000) (90,000)

    1 36,000 (54,000)

    2 30,000 (24,000)

    3 18,000 (6000)

    4 12000 6000

    5 6000 12,000

    To calculate the cash payback period we use the following formula:

    Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow + (Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).

    Payback period=3 + ($6,000/$12,000)

    Payback period=3.5 years

    The cash payback period is 3.5 years. True
