Answer:

b. $524.94

Explanation:

We need to solve for the PTM of a 6 year annuity with quarterly payment discount for 6.25% compounding quarterly as well:

[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PTM\\[/tex]

PV $10,438.8800

time 24 (6 years x 4 quarter per year)

rate 0.015625 8 ( 0.0625 / 4 )

The payment every quarter will be for:

[tex]10438.88 \div \frac{1-(1+0.015625)^{-24} }{0.015625} = PTM\\[/tex]

PTM  $ 524.942
