    Option (d) $86,864

    Explanation:

    Present value = Cash flow * Discounting factor

    Here,

    Discounting factor = (1 + r) ⁻ⁿ

    n = the year of cash flow

    r = discount rate = 12%

    Year (n) Cash flow Discount factor Present Value

    3 $11,000 0.71178 $7,830

    5 $50,000 0.567427 $28,371

    6 $1,00,000 0.506631 $50,663

    Therefore,

    The amount he or she should pay for the investment today

    = ∑ (Present value)

    = $7,830 + $28,371 + $50,663

    = $86,864

    Hence,

    Option (d) $86,864
