Answer:$ 66.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using ordinary Annuity formula
[tex]FV=\frac{P\times \left [ \left ( 1+r\right )^n-1\right ]}{r}[/tex]
FV=future value=$24000
P=monthly payment
r=rate of interest =5.4%
for monthly [tex]r=\frac{5.4}{12}=0.45%[/tex]
n=number of payments [tex]=9\times 12=108[/tex]
[tex]24000=\frac{P\times \left [ \left ( 1+0.0045\right )^{108}-1\right ]}{0.0045}[/tex]
[tex]108=P\times (1.6240)[/tex]
P=$ 66.501
sop monthly deposit of $ 66.5 is required.
