They plan to save money for 5 years before she starts college and to save during her university years. They plan to contribute $4,000 per year at the start of each of her 4 university years. Your parents would thus make monthly payments for 8 years; 5 year prior to and 3 during your sister's university education. The monthly interest rate earned on their savings is 0.45%. How much must the monthly savings be under this condition?
