Answer 1

C) $573,323.90

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we use the Present value formula which is shown in the spreadsheet. Kindly find the attachment below:

NPER represents the time period.

Given that,

NPER = 5 years

PMT = $135,000

Rate of interest = 8.9%

The formula is shown below:
