Answer:

Maximum amount to be paid    = $ 11,978.13

Explanation:

This is an example of an annuity . An annuity is a series of periodic equal cash inflows or cash  outflows occurring for certain number of years.

The maximum amount to be paid would be the present value (PV) of the cash flows discounted at the required rate of return of 8%

This would be be done using the formulae below:

PV = A × 1 - (1+r )^(-n)/r

A- 3000 r - 8%, n - 5

PV = 3000× 1 -(1.08^(-5))/0.08

   = 3000 × 3.9927

   = $ 11,978.13

Maximum amount to be paid    = $ 11,978.13
