    b. $614,184.40

    Explanation:

    Quarterly Payment = PMT = $37,400

    Interest Rates = r = 7.6% per year = 0.076 per year = 0.076 / 4 = 0.019 per quarter

    Number of years = 5 years

    Number of Payment = n = 5 years x 4 quarters per year = 20 quarters

    PV = PMT x (1 - [1 / (1 + r) ^n]) / r

    PV = $37,200 x (1 - [1 / (1 + 0.019) ^20]) / 0.019

    PV = $614,184.40
