A.986.78

B. 724.94

C. 1003.78

D.872.46

E. 924.86

Solution

1) since the company needs the $35,000 in 3 years, it means the rate to calculate for is the Future Value of an Annuity and this will be used for determining the monthly payment in the second question

2)First, what is the formula for the Future Value of an annuity

= FV=P[((1+r)^n - 1)/ r]

Where

FV= The future value = $35,000

r= rate = 3.4%  per year.

Since, it is compounded monthly, the monthly rate = 3.4%/ 12 = 0.2833%

n = 36 months

and P is the monthly payment required

Therefore,

We solve finding the value of P

= 35000=P[((1.002833)^36 - 1)/ 0.002833]

= 924.86
