Answer:

<em>The scale factor is 1:125</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which consists of multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling when representing geographic locations on a map.

On a scale drawing, a distance of 5 meters = 500 cm is represented by 4 centimeters. The scale factor is usually represented as a ratio of the smallest to the biggest magnitude:

$\frac{4}{500}=\frac{1}{125}$

The scale factor is 1:125

Present Value of an annuity is given by the formular
PV = P(1 - (1 + r)^-n)/r; where PV = $28,000, r = 0.081/12 = 0.00675, n = 35 and P is the periodic (monthly) payment.

P = PVr/(1 - (1 + r)^-n) = (28,000 x 0.00675)/(1 - (1 + 0.00675)^-35) = 189/0.2098 = 900.90

Therefore, the monthly payment is $900.90
