The lender should be willing to loan her $117146

Explanation:

Rate of return, r = 7.5% = 0.075

Cash flow at the first year, CF = 20,000

Number of years, n = 8

Present value, PF = ?

PF = (CF[ ((1+r) ^n) - 1]) / (r (1+r) ^n)

PF = (20000[ (1+0.075) ^8-1]) / (0.075 (1+0.075) ^8)

PF = (20000[ (1.075) ^8-1]) / (0.075 (1.075) ^8)

PF=$117146
