how to predict when a business collects it's initial cost back?!!

[Pharaoh]

hello fastlaners,

I'm opening a restaurant and I needed some funding. the potential investor wanted to know some info like the break even point and also when will the project collect it's initial cost " cost of assets" so after that it'll be all profit.

I've add all the fixed over heads " rent, salaries, etc." to predict the minimum sales to reach the break even point. should I divide the initial cost on a monthly basis and add it to the previous value? I have rented this restaurant for 7 years, should I divide the initial cost on monthly basis for the 7 years? or is there a standard period for businesses to collect it's initial cost back?

I'm sorry, I'm not a business expert so you'll see that I can't explain the situation in the most correct way. if you have any question I'll be ready to answer and more thankful for your help.
