    Hi Ruheen,

    This question is asking to use the DCF model to calculate the value of Bright Screen, given its annual cash flow and a specified terminal value. The WACC provided, at 10% would help determine a discount factor as well (unless you have a business calculator like BA2 plus, which you can plug into for I/Y).

    In this case, the value for Bright Screens = PV of Annual Cash Flow Annuity for 4Years + PV of Terminal Value at 4th Year.

    Annuity Factor at 10% for 4 Years = 3.170 and Annual Cash Flow = $110,000 (no tax implications). So the PV of Annuity = $348,700 = $110,000 * 3.170

    PV of $1 at 10% in Year 4 = 0.683 and Terminal Value = $1,250,000 so PV of Terminal Value = $853,750 = $1,250,000 * 0.683

    Total PV of Bright Screens = $1,202,450 so answer is B.

    Hope that helped.
