Answer:

$1666.75

Explanation:

You want to know the monthly annuity payment required to have a balance of $330,000 after 11 years, if the account is earning 7% interest.

Ordinary annuity

The value of an ordinary annuity with monthly payments of P earning interest at rate r per year for t years is ...

A = P(12/r)((1 +r/12)^(12t) -1)

Then the payment is ...

P = A(0.07/12)/((1 +0.07/12)^132 -1) β‰ˆ 1666.75

We must invest $1666.75 each month to build a balance of $330,000 in 11 years.
