      C

Expert Solution
Step 1

To solve the question, we need to make an amortization table. 

The logic to compute the amortization table is as follows:

Interest = Previous period balance x interest rate (8%)
Principal = Amount given for that year ($25,000 in year 3,4 and 5)
Payment = Interest + Principal
Balance = Previous period balance - principal
