I vaguely remember that we need to use the annuity formula for this. I think the answer might be option A, but I need to double-check my calculations.

I think we practiced a similar question in class where we had to find the annual equivalent. I feel like the answer is around $5000, but I can't recall the exact calculation.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I know we need to find the equivalent annual benefit, but I'm not sure how to calculate that from the net present value and discount rate.
