Correct Answer is option C
Pv of inflow is calculated in excel =
=Pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
PRESENT VALUE OF remaining 2 years is
=PV(6%,2,0,-1000) = 890
and apply the same formula in excel for rest of the cashflow

Remaining years	cashflow	Present value
2	1000	890.00
4	3000	2376.28
6	5000	3524.80
Total	6791.08
