Answer:

B.) 12.53 years

Explanation:

In this question, we use the NPER formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period. inv

Given that,  

Present value = $1,023.46

Future value = $1,000

PMT = $1,000  × 7% ÷ 2 = $35

Rate of interest = 6.72% ÷ 2 =3.36%

The formula is shown below:

= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the answer would be 12.53 years
