Explanation / Answer

1)

Quarterly payments:

Rate = 0.08 / 4 = 0.02 or 2%

Number of periods = 7 * 4 = 28

Present value = Quarterly payment * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + r)n] / r

25,000 = Quarterly payment * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + 0.02)28] / 0.02

25,000 = Quarterly payment * 21.281272

Quarterly payment = $1,174.7

Quarterly payment will be $1,174.7

2)

Monthly payment:

Rate = 0.08 / 12 = 0.006667 or 0.6667%

Number of periods = 7 * 12 = 84

Present value = monthly payment * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + r)n] / r

25,000 = monthly payment * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + 0.006667)84] / 0.006667

25,000 = monthly payment * 64.158441

Monthly payment = $389.7

Monthly payment will be $389.7
