2)

The present value is computed as follows:

Present value = Quarterly payment x [ (1 – 1 / (1 + r)n) / r ]

r will be as follows:

= 3.6% / 4 (Because the interest is compounded quarterly, hence r is divided by 4)

= 0.9% or 0.009

n will be as follows:

= 55 x 4 (Because the interest is compounded quarterly, hence n is multiplied by 4)

= 220

So, the present value will be as follows:

= $ 1800 x [ (1 - 1 / (1 + 0.009)220 ) / 0.009 ]

= $ 1,800 x 95.63360734

= $ 172,140.49 Approximately
