Expert Solution

Future value of annuity ($250,000) = Amount*[{(1=+r)^n -1}/r]
             
    Time (n) = 16years*12 months=192 months
    Monthly rate = 1% or 0.01  
    Future value = $250,000  
             
    $250,000 = Amount*[{(1+0.01)^192}-1]/0.01
    $250,000 = Amount*[{(1.01)^192}-1]/0.01
    $250,000 = Amount*[(6.7562-1)/0.01]
    $250,000 = Amount*[5.7562/0.01]
    $250,000 = Amount*575.622  
  $250,000/$575.62 = Amount    
  $434.31 = Amount    
             
  monthly saving is $434.31
