Answer:

$1,848

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the equal payments i.e we called PMT is shown below:

PMT = Present value ÷ Present value interest annuity factor for 5 years at 5%

= $8,000 ÷ 4.3295

= $1,848

For computing, the interest annuity factor refers to the PVIFA table

Simply we divided the borrowed amount by the PVIFA so that the approximate value can come
