    The lump sum in month 85 is $119,585.

    Explanation:

    We have: Discount rate = The monthly interest rate = APR / 12 = 8%/12 = 0.667%;

    Denote x is the lump sum needs to be found.

    We have the present value of 85 repayments discounted at monthly interest rate of 0.667% should be equal to $100,000 which the the present value of the mortgage.

    As a result, we have the below calculations:

    ($500/0.667%) x (1 - 1.00667^-84) + x/1.00667^85 = $100,000

    0.568x = $67,924 x = $119,585.

    So, the lump sum in month 85 is $119,585.
