Answer:
a. $16,251.70
b. One time payment
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The present value of the car is
= Per month amount × PVIFA (2%, 20) + Additional amount × PVIF (2%, 20)
= $500 × 16.3514 + $12,000 × 0.6730
= $8,175.70 + $8,076
= $16,251.70
Refer to the PVIFA and PVIF table
b. As we can see that the one time payment is $14,906 and the present value is $16,251.70
So the better deal is one time payment as it contains the lesser amount compared to the present value
