I = 500,000, cash flows: in year 1, $70,000, in year 2, 60,000, in year 3, 50,000, in year 4, 60,000, in year 5, 70,000, r = 0.08 NPV = -I + CF1/(1 + r)^1 +...+ CF1/(1 + r)^n = -500,000 + 70,000/1.08 + 60,000/1.08^2 + 50,000/1.08^3 + 60,000/1.08^4 + 70,000/1.08^5 = -$252,310.63 and pay back period is more than 5 years. So, this investment will not be paid back and is not efficient.
