Respuesta :

Answer:

$159.52

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount each month we have to applied the PMT formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $0

Future value = $12,000

Rate of interest = 8.9% ÷ 12 months =  0.741666%

NPER = 5 years × 12 months = 60 months

The formula is shown below:

The future value come in negative

After applying the formula, the monthly payment is $159.52
