    The minimum revenue in year 3 should be: $132.

    Explanation:

    Denote X is the cashflow in year 3.

    We have net present value of the project, to achieve 10% required rate of return should be:

    - Initial investment + Present value of Year 1 Cashflow + Present value of Year 2 Cashflow + Present value of year 3 cash flow = - 2,000 + 1,000/1.1 + 1,200/1.1^2 + X/1.1^3 = 0 X/1.1^3 = 99.174 X = $132.

    So, to achieve at least 10% required rate of return, the revenue in year 3 should be at least $132.

    Thus, the answer is $132.
