Answer:
C. $9,200 principal plus $4,600 interest
Explanation:
For computing the first installment payment, first, we have to compute the interest amount because the first installment is a sum of a principal + interest. So, the interest would be
= Borrowed amount × rate
= $92,000 × 5%
= $4,600
So, the first installment would be
= Principal + interest
= $9,200 + $4,600
= $13,800
The 10-year time duration is ignored because we have to compute for December 1 and the same date is given in the question in which the annual installment payment is due. Hence, it is not considered in the computation part.
