Answer:
He should deposit $1,744.37 at the end of each month.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value or the of condominium = $240,000
M = Monthly payment = ?
r = monthly interest rate = 2.7% / 12 = 0.027 / 12 = 0.00225
n = number of months = 10 years * 12 months = 120
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:
$240,000 = M * (((1 + 0.00225)^120 - 1) / 0.00225)
$240,000 = M * 137.585424499073
M = $240,000 / 137.585424499073
M = $1,744.37
Therefore, he should deposit $1,744.37 at the end of each month.
