Explanation / Answer

Cost of Business = $2,489,200

Annual Interest Rate = 5.88%
Quarterly Interest Rate = 1.47%

Period = 11 years or 44 quarters

First payment after 3 years and payments are made at the end of each quarter.

Let quarterly payment be $x

$2,489,200 = $x/1.0147^13 + $x/1.0147^14 + $x/1.0147^15 + $x/1.0147^16 + ... + $x/1.0147^56
$2,489,200 = $x * (1/1.0147^12) * (1 - (1/1.0147)^44) / 0.0147
$2,489,200 = $x * 27.05419
$x = $92,007.93

So, quarterly payment is $92,007.93
