Total Amount at the end of period is given by below formula
A = P ( ( 1 + r ) n 1 ) / r
where P is monthly deposit = $370 in this case
r is rate of interest per compounding period = 6%/12 = 0.005 in this case
n is number of periods = 12 7 = 84 in this case
Substituting the above we get
Amount = 370 ( 1 + 0.005 ) 84 1 0.008 = 370 1.5203 1 0.005 = 370 0.5203 0.005 = 370 104.073 = $ 38507
