A company is considering purchasing two different high-speed photocopiers. The regular model costs $4,500 and the deluxe model costs $6,100. The company has projected cash savings of $800 for the first year, and then $850 annually thereafter for both models, but the vendor is claiming that the deluxe model is $400 cheaper per year to operate than the regular model. What are the payback periods for the Regular and Deluxe models respectively assuming that the vendor is correct?
A) 4.88 years; 5.63 years
B) 5.08 years; 5.29 years
C) 5.29 years; 4.88 years
D) 5.29 years; 5.63 years

Explanation:  E) At the end of 5 years, the Regular model has returned $800 + (4 * $850) = $800 + $3,400 = $4,200, leaving $300 to recover in the 5th year. $300/$850 = 0.35 more years. Total = 5.35
At the end of 4 years, the Deluxe model has returned $1,200 + (3 * $1,250) = $1,200 + $3,750 = $4,950 leaving $1,150 left to recover ($6,100 - $4,950). During the 5th year, the investment will be recovered in $1,150/$1,250 = 0.92 more years. Total = 4.92.
