Answer:

A.$141.80

Explanation:

Present Value of Trish payments = [tex]P+P\frac{1-(1+(r/m))^{-(n-1)} }{r/m}[/tex]

Present Value of Trish payments = $450 + $450 [tex]\frac{1-(1+(0.095/12))^{-(48-1)} }{0.095/12}[/tex]

Present Value of Trish payments = $180,54

Present Value of Josh payments = [tex]P\frac{1-(1+(r/m))^{-n} }{r/m}[/tex]

Present Value of Josh payments = $450 [tex]\frac{1-(1+(0.095/12))^{-48} }{0.095/12}[/tex]

Present Value of Josh payments = $17,912

Difference between two payments = 18054 - 17912 = 141
