Terminal value

= 500 (1+0.12) 3 + 500 (1+0.12) 2 + 500 (1+0.12) 1 + 500 (1+0.12) 0

= 500 (1.12) 3 + 500 (1.12) 2 + 500 (1.12) 1 + 500 (1.12) 0

= 702.464 + 627.2 + 560 + 500

= $2,389.66

The correct answer is E

Explanation:

Terminal value is a function of number of years cashflow for each year can be re-invested at the appropriate discount rate. The cashflow for year 1 can be re-invested for 3 years since the life of the project is 4 years. cashflow for year 2 can be re-invested for 2 years, cashflow for year 3 can be re-invested for 1 year and cashflow for year 4 can be re-invested for 0 year.
