Answer:

Unter Corporation

1. The payback period of the investment is:

= 5 years.

2. No. The payback period would not be affected if the cash inflow in the last year were several times as large.  The payback period was reached in the 5th year, which is half-way before the last year. As it stands, no cash inflows after the 5th year will have any impact on the payback period.
