Answer:

c. $455.75

Explanation:

The computation of the  quarterly payments is shown below:

= Balance amount ÷ PVIFA  factor for 2.5% at 12 years

where,

Balance amount is

= $5,500 - $5,500 × 15%

= $5,500 - $825

= $4,675

And the PVIFA  factor for 2.5% at 12 years is 10.2578

Refer to the PVIFA table

So, the quarterly payments is

= $4,675 ÷  10.2578

= $455.75

In the case of quarterly payments, the rate is one fourth and time period would be 4 times

The quarterly payment by Candy purchases a new guitar is $455.75.

What is the calculation of balance payment?

The initial payment computation:

[tex]5500-(5500*0.15)\\=4675[/tex]

Hence, the balance amount of $4675 would be used for the computation of quarterly payments.

What is the calculation of quarterly paymnet?

The PVIFA  factor for 2.5% at 12 years is 10.2578

Therefore, quarterly payment would be:

[tex]\frac{4675}{PVIFA (2.5, 12)} \\=\frac{4675}{10.2578} \\=455.75[/tex]

Hence, the problem of present value of the annuity is described here.
