When you are finding PV of tax shield we need to use debt rate as discount rate
Interest in year 1 = 5%*(0.5*100) = 2.5
Tax shield = 2.5*28% = 0.7
Interest in year 1 = 5%*(50-50/3) = 1.67
Tax shield = 1.67*28% = 0.47
Interest in year 1 = 5%*(50-50/3-50/3) = 0.83
Tax shield = 0.83*28% = 0.23
PV of tax shield = 0.7 / (1+5%) + 0.47 / (1+5%)2 + 0.23 / (1+5%)3
= 1.2915 MNOK (Option C)
