Respuesta :

Answer:

Project B =  1 year

2 Project should be chosen because it has a shorter payback period.

Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows.

For project A, the payback period is $20,000 / $23,000 = 0.87 years
