First, you need to find the present value at the nominal interest rate of 8% of the $25 paid for the first three years.

$25 x 2.5771 = $64.4275

Then, we will find the present value of the $30 paid for the next 20 years.

$30 x 9.8181 x 0.7938 = $233.8082

Then, we will find the equal annual payment as follows: -

Both the current price and present value of all payment must be equal. Therefore,

$360.39 = $64.4275 + $233.8082+ X(9.1216)(0.1703)
$360.39 = $298.2357 + 1.5534X
$62.1543 = 1.5534X
X = $40
