d. $5,614.90

Explanation:

The amount that the Varian will save at the end of the every month in order to have $500,000 at the end of the sixth year shall be determined through the future value of annuity formula which shall be calculated as follows:

Future value of annuity=R[ ((1+i) ^n-1) / i]

In the given question

Future value of annuity=$500,000

R=amount that the Varian will be saved per month=?

i = interest rate per month=0.58%

n = payments involved=6*12=72

$500,000=R[ ((1+0.58%) ^72-1) / 0.58%]

R=$5,614.90

So based on the above calculation, the answer shall be d. $5,614.90
