Expert Solution

Information provided:

Annual payment= $20,000

Interest rate= 4.7%

The question is solved by computing the present value of perpetuity.

Present value of the perpetuity payment each year= annual payment/discount rate

= $20,000/ 0.047

= $425,531.9149 $425,532.

Hence, the answer is option e.
