To find the payback rate, the equation is (# of years to get past break-even) + [(initial investment - each year's return) / (final year's return to pass the break-even point)]. In this case, this would be (3 + [(26000 - 2500 - 11700 - 13500) / (13500)]. This would be (3 + (-0.126)), or approximately 2.874 years to recover the initial $26,000 investment.
