    The correct answer is C: $4300

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    They will invest an equal amount each month for 5 years.

    This account will earn 6% per year (0.5% per month) and will have $300,000 at the end of the 5-year term

    We need to use the following formula:

    final value = {A[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/r

    A = cuota

    i = monthly interest

    n = 60 months

    Isolating A:

    A = (FV*i) / [ (1+i) ^n-1]

    A = (300000*0.005) / [ (1.005^60) - 1]

    A = 1500/0.34885 = 4300
