A project with an initial cost of $81,000 is expected to produce cash flows of $20,000 per year and net income of $9,000 for each of the next 7 years. The asset has an estimated 7-year life and a $4,000 salvage value. What is the projected payback period?

 

From what I read, answer is supposed to be initial cost divided by cashflows per year but all the other data in the question is confusing me. Please help if possible. Thank you.
