(D) $32,389

Answer:

B) $24294

Explanation:

PVIFA = (1 - (1 + r)^-n)/r

          = (1 - (1 + 8%)^-10)/8%

          = 6.710

PVIF = 0.4632

present value = (amount expected to receive for the first 10 years)×(PVIFA) + (amount expected to receive for the second 10 years)×(PVIFA)×(PVIF)

                        = (2000)×(6.710) + (3500)×(6.710)×(0.463)

                        = $24293.6

                        ≈ $ 24294
