Answer:

The project has no payback period

it should be rejected

Explanation:

Payback period calculate the number of years it would take to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

Amount invested = -$11,000

Amounted recovered in the 1st year = -$11,000 + $3,350 = -$7650

Amounted recovered in the 2nd year = -$7650 + $4,180 = -$3470

Amounted recovered in the 3rd year =  -$3470 + $1,520 = -$1950

Amounted recovered in the 4th year = -$1950 + 0 = -$1950

Amounted recovered in the 5th year = -$1950 + $1000 = -$950

The amount invested is never recovered. the project isn't profitable and should be rejected
