Explanation / Answer

we need to use pv formula to find out the present value cost of restoration that will happen in third year.

pv = cash flow / (1+ int rate )n

n= 3
int rate =6%

pv = 174000/(1.06)3
=174000/1.191016
=146094

answer is option c

cash flow (a) probability  (b) estimated cf  (a*b) 119000 0.3 35700 169000 0.3 50700 219000 0.4 87600 total 174000
