A machine has a first cost of $10,000 and an expected salvage value of $900 when it is sold. Annually, the operating cost is $500, and the revenue generated from sales is $2,500. What is the payback period assuming a MARR of 20% per year, an effective tax rate of 15%, and straight line depreciation over 5 years taking into account the salvage value (note, even though the machine might be fully depreciated down to its salvage value for tax purposes, assume the machine can continue to operate forever and that it will never be sold).
