Answer:

$24,872.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly payment= 425.00

Rate of interest = 4.40%

Number of years = 66/12 = 55

Annual Compounding = 12

Present Value is to be calculated

Present Value = Monthly payment * 1 - (1+r/n)^-n*t / r/n

Present Value = 425 * 1 - (1+0.044/12)^-12*5.5 / 0.044/12

Present Value = 24,872.6610

Present Value = $24,872.66

Taylor could afford $24,872.66 to buy the car with a 66 month loan at an annual interest rate of 4.4%.
