Answer:

Monthly deposit= $489.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value (FV)= $180,000

Number of periods (n)= 18*12= 216

Interest rate (i)= 0.055 / 12= 0.004583

To calculate the monthly deposit, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (180,000*0.004583) / {[(1.004583)^216] - 1}

A= $489.59
