Answer:

The payback period will be "6.8 years".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Period before full recovery,

= 6

At the starting of the year, unrecovered cost,

= 8,000

Cash flows during year,

= 10,000

Now,

The payback period will be:

= [tex]Period \ before \ full \ recovery+\frac{Unrecovered \ cost \ at \ start \ of \ year}{Cash \ flows \ during \ year}[/tex]

= [tex]6+\frac{8000}{10000}[/tex]

= [tex]6+0.8[/tex]

= [tex]6.8 \ years[/tex]
