Jennifer will need to pay $200 at the end of every month for the next 12 months, except for the payment of the 5th month. What is the present value, assuming a rate of 4%, compounded quarterly?
$2,348.97
$2,254.09
$2,160.06
$2,152.26
Effective monthly rate, r = (1 + 0.04/4)^(1/4) - 1
r = 0.002490679314
First, let's find the present value including the 5th month payment.
Now, let's find the PV of the 5th month payment
PV = 200/(1 + 0.002490679314)^5 = $197.5278235165
We will subtract this from 2,361.5928316976 to get our answer.
Answer: 2,361.5928316976 - 197.5278235165 = $2,164.0650081811
Closest answer is option C: $2,160.06
