I'm not sure, but I think C) Annual rate of return could also be a possible answer.

Cash payback? What is this, the Stone Age? B is the clear winner. Although, I do enjoy a good annuity pun now and then.

I agree with Sharen, because the present value of an annuity is best calculated using the net present value method.

I'm tempted to go with the internal rate of return, but the question specifically mentions the present value of an annuity table. Gotta be B.

I'm sticking with option B as well. NPV is a classic for a reason.

Hmm, I think the discounted cash flow technique with net present value is the way to go here. That table is key for calculating the present value of an annuity.
