+37147 If she deposits at the beginning of the month, this becomes and ANNUITY DUE calculation...here is the formula :
Pluggin' in the numbers FV = $ 10 000
i = decimal interest per period = .0125/ 12 months
n = number of periods = 3 x 12 = 36 months ( when she is 24)
then solving for "C" results in C = $ 272.46 per month
