Answer:

$812.49 and $28,369,687.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the annual payments be X

Sale of ordinary annuity = X × PVAF factor

$4,947.11 = X × PVAF(6.5%, 8 years)

$4,947.11 = 6.0888 × X

X = $812.49

And,

The Present value is

Present value = Annual payments + Annual payments × PVAF factor

= $4,375,000 + $4,375,000 × PVAF(6.5%, 7 years)

= $4,375,000 + $4,375,000 × 5.4845

= $28,369,687.5

The $4,375,000 is come from

= $35,000,000 ÷ 8 years

= $4,375,000

Refer to the PVAF factor table

We simply applied the above formulas
