The correct answer is A.The loan amount can be calculated using the formula:Loan amount = Monthly payment * (1 - (1 + (APR/12))^(-n)) / (APR/12)where:Monthly payment = $750APR = 4.9%n = 48 monthsSubstituting these values into the formula, we get:Loan amount = $750 * (1 - (1 + (0.049/12))^(-48)) / (0.049/12)= $750 * (1 - (1.004083333)^(-48)) / 0.004083333= $750 * (1 - 0.673684211) / 0.004083333= $750 * 0.326315789 / 0.004083333= $32,631.58Therefore, the loan amount for the extension was $32,631.
