    The correct answer is B. $2,154

    Explanation:

    Provided data from the question

    Present value of office equipment and furniture purchased = $8,600

    Number of installments agreed = 5

    Interest rate on installment payments = 8%

    To determine the required annual installment payment, solve:

    Present value = Annual payments * Present value of annuity factor at 8% and number of installment (5)

    Present value of annuity factor = 1 - (1+r) ⁻ⁿ / r

    where r = interest rate and n = number of installment agreed

    Present value of annuity factor = 1 - (1+0.08) ⁻⁵ / 0.08

    Present value of annuity factor = 3.99271

    Therefore,

    $8600 = Annual installment payment * 3.99271

    = $8,600/3.99271

    Annual installment payment = $2,154
