Answer:

2.4 years

Explanation:

Years  Cash   Cumulative Cashflow

1          8000         8000

2         6000         14000

3          5000        19000

4          4000        25000

5          5000        30000

           30000

Payback period = 2 years + (16,000 - 14,000) / 5,000

Payback period = 2 years + 0.4 years

Payback period = 2.4 years
