Answer:

4 years

Explanation:

Payback period is the time in which a project returns back the initial investment in the form of net cash flow.

Initial Investment = $400,000

Annual increase in net Income = $100,000

Payback period = Initial Investment / Annual increase in net income

Payback period = $400,000 / $100,000

Payback period = 4 years

The initial cost of $400,000 will be paid back in only 4 years time by the equipment.
