Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Final value= 1,560,000

n= 3*12= 36 months

i= 0.038/12= 0.0031667

To calculate the annual deposit needed we need to use the following version of the final value formula:

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

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

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

A=(1,560,000*0.0031667) / [(1.0031667^36)-1]=  $40,849
