Answer 1

Answer:

$30, 154.50

Explanation:

For compute the maximum amount, we need to calculate the present value which is shown below:

Present value would be

= Paying amount for five years × PVIFA factor at 11.2% for 5 years

= $8,200 × 3.6774

= $30,154.68 approx

Simply we multiplied the paying amount with the PVIFA factor to get the maximum paying amount

And, refer to the PVIFA table
