Answer:

139 ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest rate on loan = 4% = 0.04

Number of payments = 15

First 10 payments = 100 each

last 5 payments = 200 each

Calculating the value of K

K = [ ( 100 / 0.04 * ( 1-1 / 1.04^10 ) + 200/0.04 * ( 1-1 / (1 +0.04)^5)* 1 /1.04^10)

* 1.1 - 100 / 0.04 * ( 1-1 / (1+0.04)^5 ) - 200/0.04 * (1-1 /1.04^5) * 1/1.04^10)*0.04 / ( 1-1 / 1.04^5) * (1 + 0.04)^5

= 138.6051 ≈ 139
