Answer:

D) $779,843.27

Explanation:

The present value of this donation = Donation in Year 1/(1+ discount rate)^9 + Donation in Year 2/(1+ discount rate)^8 + ….. + Donation in Year 2/(1+ discount rate)^1

= $100,000/(1+9%) + $100,000*(1+5%)/(1+9%)^2 +$100,000*(1+5%)^2/(1+9%)^3…. +$100,000*(1+5%)^9/(1+9%)^10 = $779,843.27

Or we can easily input in excel and generate NPV as file attached; in which the formula is NPV(discount rate, cash inflow year 1 : cash inflow year 10) = (9%, 100000,100000*(1+5%)….,100000*(1+5%)^9) = $779,843.27
