Answer 2

Answer:

D) N=9; 1% = 22.8; PV=-1658.42; PMT=; FV=0; P/Y=12; C/Y=12;  PMT:END

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the loan offers no payments during the first 9 months, then N = 9 months instead of 18 months.

The interest rate remains the same = 22.8%

The present value of the loan = the future value of the loan's principal on the ninth month = -$1,400 x [1 + (22.8% x 9/12)]⁹ = -$1,400 x 1.184 = -$1658.42
