    There will be 7 months of repayment for fully paying-off the outstanding amount.

    Explanation:

    We apply the present value formula to calculate the number of month it takes to paid off the outstanding amount.

    We have:

    Monthly payment = $400; Discounting period = number of months needs to paid off the amount; Discount rate = 13.99%/12

    So, we have: 2,455.44 = [400 / (13.99%/12) ] x [1 - (1+13.99%/12) ^ (-n) ] [1 - (1+13.99%/12) ^ (-n) ] = 0.071566 (1+13.99%/12) ^ (-n) = 0.928434 = n = 6.4

    => There will be 7 months of repayment for fully paying-off the outstanding amount.
