Options:

FV

PV

NPer

Rate

Correct Answer:

NPer

Explanation:

Nper = Total no of payments for the loan. Its unit (e.g. year) should match with the unit of the interest rate. NPER stands for "Number of Periods" in finance and investment calculations. It is a function commonly used in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. NPER is used to calculate the number of payment periods required to repay a loan or investment based on factors such as interest rate, periodic payment amount, and the present value of the loan or investment.
