a. true
b. false

It is false that the payback period for the machine is 12 years.

Explanation:

As the formula for the backpack period is as follow:

Payback period = Initial Cost / Net cash inflow

where Payback period is in years.

In our case:

Initial cost of machine = $24,000

Net cash inflow = $6,000

Putting the values in the above formula, we get

Payback period = 24,000/6,000

Payback period = 4 Years

So, the payback period is not 12 years.
