    C.$72,867

    Explanation:

    The present value = Future value / (1+rate) ^n, in which n is number of period

    So value of $50,000 at employment date = $50,000 / (1+8%) ^2 = $42,867

    So the lump sum at employment date = $30,000 + $42,867 = $72,867

    And this amount ($72,867) is indifferent with $30,000 at the date of employment and another $50,000two years later.
