**Options:**
A. 700
B. 785
C. 760
D. 735
E. 810
---
**Explanation:**
The problem involves calculating the present value of a perpetuity where payments start small and increase linearly until they reach a fixed amount, after which they remain constant. The solution will involve calculating the present value of the increasing payments and then adding the value of the perpetuity of constant payments.
