Answer:

The present value of the car whe it was purchase will be of $ 10,621.69

Explanation:

We need to sovle for the present value of an annuity given the PTM of $500 the interst rate off 12% compounded monthly and that time of the lona is 24 months:

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]

C $500.00

time 24

rate 0.01 (12% = 0.12 er year / 12 months )

[tex]500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.01)^{-24} }{0.01} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $10,621.6936
