    Therefore, 144 quarters are required until the account balance is $0

    Explanation:

    Present Value=Quarterly payment * (1 - ((1+r) ^ (-n)) / n

    $3,00,000 = $4500 * (1 - ((1+0.0125) ^ (-n)) / 0.0125

    $3,00,000 = $360000 * (1 - ((1+0.0125) ^ (-n))

    (1 - ((1.0125) ^ (-n)) = $300000 / $360000

    (1 - ((1.0125) ^ (-n)) = 0.833333

    n = 144
