    The correct answer is D.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Jasper company has a payback goal of three years on acquisitions. Of new equipment. Anew piece of equipment that costs $450,000 and a five - year life is being considered. Straight-line (SL) depreciation will be used, with zero salvage value. Jasper is subject to a 30% income tax rate.

    Depreciation = 450,000/5 = 90,000

    We need to reach a net cash flow of at least $150,000

    Reduction on costs = 190,000

    Depreciation = 90,000 (-)

    EBIT = 100,000

    Tax = 30,000 (-)

    Depreciation=90,000

    Net operating income = 160,000
