Correct Answer

✅ Option d — 10,000\displaystyle 10,000

All Options:

  • A2,500\displaystyle 2,500
  • B5,000\displaystyle 5,000
  • C7,500\displaystyle 7,500
  • D10,000\displaystyle 10,000

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The present value (PV\displaystyle PV) of a growing perpetuity is: PV=Ar−gPV = \frac{A}{r - g} Given: * First cash flow (A\displaystyle A) = 200\displaystyle 200 * Discount rate (r\displaystyle r) = 7%\displaystyle 7\% p.a. = 0.07\displaystyle 0.07 * Growth rate (g\displaystyle g) = 5%\displaystyle 5\% p.a. = 0.05\displaystyle 0.05 Substituting the values: PV=2000.07−0.05=2000.02=10,000PV = \frac{200}{0.07 - 0.05} = \frac{200}{0.02} = 10,000 This matches Option D (10,000\displaystyle 10,000). Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
