You should know from my free lectures that to arrive at the present value of a perpetuity we multiply the annual cash flow by 1/the interest rate. Here we know the interest rate and we know that the present value has to be $100,000 and so you can work backwards to get the annual cash flow. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
