Answer:
The value of annuity is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The periodic payment is 
The interest rate is 
Frequency at which it occurs in a year is n = 4 (quarterly )
The number of years is 
The value of the annuity is mathematically represented as
(reference EDUCBA website)
substituting values
![P_v = 250 * [1 - (1 + \frac{0.05}{4} )^{-10 * 4} ] * [\frac{(1 + \frac{0.05}{4} )}{ \frac{0.08}{4} } ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P_v%20%20%3D%20250%20%2A%20%20%5B1%20%20-%20%281%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.05%7D%7B4%7D%20%29%5E%7B-10%20%2A%204%7D%20%5D%20%2A%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.05%7D%7B4%7D%20%29%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.08%7D%7B4%7D%20%7D%20%5D)

All you need to do is 1/8 and 1 half because 1/ 2 is a half so I'll see what you got then text it to me
Subtract 7.8 points by 4.8 and you get 3.4 !!
