The payback period is the time it takes for an investment to generate an amount of income or cash flow equal to the cost of the investment. In this case, the initial investment is $1,100,000 and the annual net cash flow is $250,000.

To calculate the payback period, we divide the initial investment by the annual net cash flow:

$1,100,000 / $250,000 = 4.4 years

So, the project's payback period is 4.4 years.
