Explanation / Answer

In the above formula,
A is the last period with a negative cumulative cash flow;
B is the absolute value of cumulative cash flow at the end of the period A;
C is the total cash flow during the period after A

so for project 2 Payback period = 3 + (30000/30000) = 3+1 = 4

for project 3, payback period = 3+(40000/46000) = 3.87

Payback Period = A + B C
