$1017.014 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principle amount = $115000

Per month payment is = $658.95 per month  

Amount still owed after 17 years(25-8=17) = $52,442.26  

Prepayment fee = (0.8*52,442.26)*(1.004^6 - 1) = $1017.014

Hence, Charlene will pay a prepayment fee of $1017.014 for paying off her loan 8 years early.
