Answer:

$847.33

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the present value of an annuity formula to calculate the monthly payment:

present value = monthly payment x PV annuity factor

monthly payment = present value / PV annuity factor

  • present value = $18,000
  • PV annuity factor, 1%, 24 periods = 21.243

monthly payment = $18,000 / 21.243 = $847.33
