Payback period= full years until recovery + unrecovered cost at the start of the year/cash flow during the year

                              = 2 years + ($40,000 - $30,000/ $15,000

                              = 2 years + $10,000/ $15,000

                              = 2 years + 0.67

                              = 2.67 years.

Hence, the answer is option d.
