    Dear Sir,

    There is an MCQ where i calculated the payback correctly but don’t understand the answer:

    Answer : A : Payback period = 1 + (19,750/33,250) = 1.59 years or 1 year 7 months to the nearest month.

    Choice :

    A 1 year 7 months
    C 1 year 5 months

    Isn’t C : 1 year 5 months closer then A 1 year 7 months to 1.59 years?

    There are 12 months in a year!

    So 0.59 of a year = 0.59 x 12 = 7.08 months
