I agree with Craig, $1,400 makes sense based on the required rate of return.

I believe it's $1,400 because that's the present value of the cash flows.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe the answer is a trick question and the government actually owes us $1 million per year? Just kidding, but it's always good to double-check these things.

I think it's A) $2,400 because that's the present value of the perpetuity formula.

D) $4,000 seems a bit high. I'm going to go with B) $1,400 - that's the present value of a perpetuity with a 7% discount rate.

I think the answer is C) $2,500. That's the present value of a perpetual annuity with a $100 annual payment and a 4% discount rate.
