Sagot :

Kate should deposit $46,158.28 monthly into an account

In this question, we have been given the amount A = $50,000,

interest rate R = 1.6%

period t = 5 years

We need to find the principal amount (P)

First, convert R as a percent to decimal

r = 1.6/100

r = 0.016

Using the formula of compound interest for P,

P = A / (1 + r/n)nt

P = 50,000.00 / (1 + 0.016/12)(12)(5)

P = $46,158.28

Therefore, Kate should deposit $46,158.28
