Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the payback period for both the locations is shown below;

For location 1

= $402,000 ÷ $67,000

= 6 years

And, for location 2

Year       Cash flows    Cumulative cash flows

1         $145,000              $145,000

2        $105,000              $250,000

3          $68,000             $318,000

4          $52,000              $370,000

5          $32,000             $402,000

So, the payback period for location 2 is 5 years
