Answer:

Quarterly deposit= $2,038.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value (PV)= $26,000

Number of periods (n)=  3*4= 12 quarters

Interest rate (i)= 0.044/4= 0.011

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

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

A= quarterly deposit

Isolating A:

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

A= (26,000*0.011) / [(1.011^12) - 1]

A= $2,038.69
