The payback period for this Rico Petricelli Industries' investment is 6 years.

Data and Calculations:

Cost of investment in plant assets =$960,000

Estimated useful life = 10 years

Estimated salvage value = $0

Annual depreciation = $96,000 ($960,000/10)

Annual net income = $64,000

Annual cash net inflow = $160,000 ($64,000 + $96,000)

Payback period = 6 years ($960,000/$160,000)

Thus, to compute the payback period as 6 years, add the annual depreciation to the annual net income to obtain the annual cash net inflow.  Then divide the cash outlay ($960,000) by the product above.
