Explanation / Answer

Annual Payments = $30,000 / [(1 – 1/(1.085)10) / .085] = $30,000 / 6.5613 = $4,572.23

==============================

Semi annual Payments = $30,000 / [(1 – 1/(1 +.085/2)10x2) / .085/2] = $30,000 /13.2944 = $2256.60

===========================

Quarterly Payment=$30,000/{11/[1+(0.085/4)]^10×4}/(0.085/4)

Quarterly Payment=$30,000/26.7653=$1,120.86

========================

Monthly Payment=$30,000/{11/[1+(0.085/12)]^10×12}/(0.085/12)

Monthly Payment=$30,000/80.6545=$371.96
