Calculate the monthly payment for a loan of $7,500 with an 11% interest rate compounded monthly over a period of 5 years.

Use the monthly loan-payment formula: payment = P × r ÷ [1 − (1 + r)^−n]. Here, P = $7,500, the monthly rate is 0.11 ÷ 12 ≈ 0.009167, and the number of payments is 5 × 12 = 60. Substituting gives a monthly payment of about $163.07, so the correct choice is $163.07.
