Answer:

d. 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the discount rate is shown below:

Initial investment = Present value of cash inflows

where,

Initial investment is $7,139,000

And, the present value of cash inflows

= Annual cash inflows × discount rate

We assume the discount rate be X

$7,139,000 = $1,000,000 × X

So,

X = 7139000 ÷ 1000000 = 7.139

= 8%

We simply applied the above formula in order to find out the discount rate
