    (1) Payback period is 4.588 years or 4 years and 215 days

    (2) 5.13%

    Explanation:

    (1)

    Payback period is the time period in which Initial Investment made in the project is recovered in the form of cash inflows.

    Payback period = Initial Investment / Annual net cash flow

    Payback period = $390,000 / $85,000 = 4.588 years = 4 years and 215 days

    (2)

    As per given data

    Net Income = $20,000

    Initial Investment = $390,000

    Annual rate of return is the ration of net income to the investment made in the project.

    Annual rate of return = Annual net Income / Initial Investment

    Annual rate of return = ($20,000 / $390,000) x 100 = 5.13%
