    c.$233.62

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net present value is presented below:

    Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - present value of cash outflows

    where,

    Present value of cash inflows

    = Annual payment * PVIFA for 5 years at 10%

    = $100 * 3.7908

    = $379.08

    Refer to the PVIFA table

    And, the present value of cash outflows would be

    = One year amount + Second year amount * discount factor

    = $100 + $50 * 0.9091

    = $100 + 45.455

    = $145.455

    The discount factor is calculated below:

    = 1 : (1 + rate) ^ years
