Answer:
a. 11,262.88
Explanation:
In this case we are using the formula of an annuity due which is an annuity that starts payment at the beginning of the period.
This formula is
PVannuity due = C * [(1 - ( 1 + i ) ^ {-n}/ i ] * (1 + i)
C = Payments $2,500
i = Interest rate 5.5%
n = Number of payments 5
PVannuity due = 2500 * [(1 - ( 1 + 0,05 ) ^ {-5}/ 0.05 ] * (1 + 0.05)
