    Explanation:

    The computation of the payback period is shown below:

    In year 0 = $8,300

    In year 1 = $2,100

    In year 2 = $3,000

    In year 3 = $2,300

    In year 4 = $1,700

    If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $7,400

    Now we subtract the $7,400 from the $8,300, so the amount is $900 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

    And, the next year cash inflow is $1,700

    So, the payback period equal to

    = 3 years + $900 : $1,700

    = 3.53 years
