Answer

It is possible to withdraw $112.54 from this account every month for 5 years.

Work Step by Step

The formula for the payment value for an ordinary annuity is: $PMT = PV\frac{i}{1 - (1+i)^{-n}}$ Where: $PV = 6,000$ ** The withdrawals are made monthly, so m = 12. $i = r/m = \frac{0.0475}{12}$ $n = mt = 12 * 5 = 60$ So: $PMT = (6,000)\frac{\frac{0.0475}{12}}{1 - (1+\frac{0.0475}{12})^{-60}} = 112.54$
