To calculate the maximum price Zola should pay for the annuity, we need to find the present value of the annuity payments.

The formula to calculate the present value of an annuity is:

PV = PMT * [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where:
PV = Present Value
PMT = Payment per period (R4000)
r = Interest rate per period (8% or 0.08)
n = Number of periods (20 years)

Plugging in the values:

PV = R4000 * [(1 - (1 + 0.08)^-20) / 0.08]
PV = R4000 * [(1 - (1.08)^-20) / 0.08]
PV = R4000 * [(1 - 0.21455) / 0.08]
PV = R4000 * [0.78545 / 0.08]
PV = R4000 * 9.818125
PV = R39,272.50

Therefore, the maximum price Zola should pay for the annuity is R39,272.50.
