Investors For the Future (IFF) LLC provides financial advice to investors in a magazine called New Money. Its feature story this month is on a company called Hydrosaurs, an upstart oil company out of Wichita, Kansas. Three years ago, Hydrosaurus began planning to install a new pipeline that would connect two storage tanks 1300 mi away. The CEO of the company stated within the article that the pipeline was scheduled to placed early but ran into some difficulties but should have them resolved especially since the pipeline is now necessary for the business. This 1300 mi long pipeline with a 120-mm pipe will today initially cost Hydrosaurus $2.5k with annual operational maintenance costs of $300. With the real interest rate being 5% and the inflation 9%, what would have been the present worth of this pipeline had the company began construction three year ago? O a. $1590 O b. $1780 O c. $1670
