    Explanation:

    We use the NPER formula in this question which is shown in the spreadsheet.

    The NPER represents the time period. inv

    Given that,

    Present value = $0

    Future value = $14,500

    PMT = $2,500

    Rate of interest = 10%

    The formula is shown below:

    = NPER (Rate, PMT,-PV, FV, type)

    The PMT come in negative

    So, after solving this, the answer would be 4.80 years
