Answer: A. N = 12; 1 = 8/4; PV = 25,000; FV = 0; CPT PMT
Explanation:
A is the correct option because,
N = 12
The period is 3 years but the payments are quaterly so the actual period is;
= 3 years * 4
= 12 quarters/ periods.
I = 8/4
The interest rate is 8% but this is stated as a Yearly value which needs to be adjusted to a quarterly value by dividing it by 4.
PV = 25,000
The Present Value of the loan is $25,000 because this is the amount that Art's Market was given in the present.
When all of this is inputted into the calculator, the answer will be; PMT = $2,363.99.
