Finance

A firm considers an investment whose cost is $ 3 000 000 which is paid in 2023. The expected cash flows from this investment are as follows: 2024 $ 500 000 2025 $ 700 000 2026 $ 1 000 000 2027 $ 1 000 000 2028 $ 800 000 2029 $ 600 000 The firms desired target payback period is 3 years which means that firm accepts all projects with a payback period less than 3 years. a) Find the exact payback period of this investment on the basis of simple payback period. b) Should the firm accept or reject this investment (give your answer simply as accept or reject)

Note: Notice that I want to see the exact payback period which means you need to use interpolation. See my written notes to understand how the interpolation is done.
