    The monthly payment which is required to achieve the goal is $676.18

    Explanation:

    The monthly payment which is required to achieve the goal is computed as:

    Using the excel formula of PMT:

    =PMT (rate, nper, pv, fv, type)

    where

    PMT is payment monthly

    rate is 7%

    but rate is compounded monthly, so

    r = 7% / 12

    nper is number of years which is 3 years

    but the number of years also compounded monthly, so

    nper = 3 * 12

    fv is future value, which is $27,000

    Putting the values above:

    =PMT (7%/12,3 * 12,0,-27000,0)

    = $676.18
