Proposal X payback = $115,000/$55,000 = 2.09 years

Proposal Y   Cash Savings   Savings Accumulated   To Be Recovered
Year 0         $130,000
Year 1   $60,000   $ 60,000   70,000
Year 2   40,000   100,000   30,000
Year 3   40,000   140,000   0

Proposal Y payback = 2 years plus $30,000/$40,000 or 2.75 years.

Proposal Z payback = ($145,000 + $15,000)/$60,000 = 2.67 years
