Year 0 1 2 3 4
Cashflow(in $)             (23,700)                 7,000                       7,700                   7,100 5100
Cumulative Cashflow(in $)             (23,700)            (16,700)                     (9,000)                 (1,900)                   3,200

Payback Period = A+(B/C)

where

A - last period containing negative cumulative cash flow = 3

B - absolute value of cumulative cash flow in A = 1900

C - cash flow during the period after A = 5100

Payback Period = 3+(1900/5100)

= 3.37 years
