The completely stated  question and the multiple-choice answers include:

Latting Corporation has entered into a 7-year lease for a building it will use as a warehouse. The annual payment under the lease will be $4,781. The first payment will be at the end of the current year and all subsequent payments will be made at year-end. If the discount rate is 6%, the present value of the lease payments is closest to:  

A. $31,573

B. $22,257

C. $33,467

D. $26,688

The correct answer is: $26,688 (D)

Explanation:

First of all, we have to calculate the Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity (PVIFA), which is the factor that can be used to calculate a series of annuities.  The formula for PVIFA is given by:

where:

r = interest rate per period

n = number of periods.

There are also existing PVIFA tables for already calculated PVIFA at different interest rates per period, and at a periodic interest (discount) rate of 6% for 7 years, the PVIFA = 5.5824

Therefore the Present value is calculated thus:

Annual payments × PVIFA for 7 years at 6%

4,781 × 5.5824  (refer to the PVIFA table)

= 26,689.45 (closest to 26,688)

the correct answer would be b, when, queen, calder hall and london.

explanation:

we always capitalize words when a paragraph or sentence is starting, when an important name is used, when a place is being written, or simply when a noun is used, etc. so in this sentence, sentence is starting from 'when', so it will be written in capital letters. secondly, queen is considered to be an important person, so it will also be written in capital letter. next, the name of the town is mentioned, i-e calder hall, which will also be written in capital letters. in the last,   city name is being used, 'london', which will also be written in capital letters. so option b is the most appropriate one.
