I bet the person who wrote this question is an accountant with a twisted sense of humor. 'No money costs and taxes' - yeah, right. I'm sticking with option C, 27 months.

Hold up, did anyone else notice the 'no money costs and taxes' part? This is going to be a breeze! I'm going with option A, 10 months.

This is a tricky one, but I'm leaning towards option B. 20 months feels more realistic given the monthly savings.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. I think option D, 33 months, is the correct answer. Let me double-check the calculations.

Actually, I think the answer is C) 27. We need to consider the training cost as well, so the total investment is 30,000 + 4,000 = 34,000. Then the payback period would be 34,000 / 2,000 = 17 months.

I agree with Becky. The payback period is calculated by dividing the initial investment by the monthly savings, so it should be 30,000 / 2,000 = 15 months.
