Answer:

Monthly deposit= $810.20

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of periods (n)= 18 months

Interest rate (i)= 0.04/12= 0.0033

Future value (FV)= $15,000

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= (15,000*0.0033) / [(1.0033^18) - 1]

A= $810.20
