    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
