The break-even time is the point at which the revenue generated by the equipment equals the cost of the equipment.

To calculate this, divide the cost of the equipment by the annual net cash flow:

$107,000 / $42,000 = 2.55 years

So, the break-even time for this equipment is approximately 2.55 years.
