Answer:

$2,949.91.

Explanation:

The size of the quarterly installment can be determined by finding the (Payment) PMT amount using tie value of money principles.

Here I used a financial calculator to set my values and calculate PMT as :

PV = $0

N = 2 x 4 = 8

P/yr = 4

I = 11 %

FV = $26,000

PMT = ?

Therefore the (Payment) PMT is $2,949.91. The size of each (equal) quarterly installment should be  $2,949.91.
