d. $16,800

Answer:

The correct option is a. $15,198.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the loan or the largest loan amount that can be gotten =?

P = Monthly payment = $350

r = Monthly interest rate = APR / 12 = 5% / 12 = 0.05 / 12 = 0.00416666666666667

n = number of months = 4 years * 12 months = 48

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $350 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.00416666666666667))^48) / 0.00416666666666667)

PV = $350 * 43.4229559379367

PV = $15,198.0345782779

Rounding to a whole dollar amount, we have:

PV = $15,198

Therefore, the correct option is a. $15,198.

The largest amount of a loan we can get at an APR of 5% is: a. $15,198.

Using this formula

PV = P ×((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r)

Where:

PV =Present value=?

Principal= $350

r = Interest rate=0.05 / 12 = 0.004167

n = 4 years × 12 = 48

Let plug in the formula

PV = $350×  [(1 - (1 / (1 + 0.004167))^48)]/ 0.004167

PV = $350×  [(1 - (1 / (1.004167))^48)]/ 0.004167

PV = $350×  [(1 - (1 / (1.004167)^48)]/ 0.004167

PV= $350×  (1 -0.8190579663)/ 0.004167

PV= $350× (0.180942034/0.004167)

PV= $350× 43.4226144

PV=$15,197.9

PV=$15,198 (Approximately)

Inconclusion the largest amount of a loan we can get at an APR of 5% is: a. $15,198.
