Let x be the average yield, expressed as a decimal.
(1+x)^20 = 5000/1000 = 5
log 5 = 20 log(1+x)
log (1+x) = 0.0349585
1+x = 1.0837
x = 8.4%

R = Si/[(1+i)^n - 1] where R = the monthly deposit, i = the periodic decimal interest rate, and n = the number of deposits.
R = 1,000,000
i = 10/100(12) = .008333
n = 60(12) = 720
R = 1,000,000(.008333)/[1.008333^720)-1]
R = 8333.333/(393.428 - 1)
R = $21.24
Check:
S = [1.008333^720 - 1]/.008333 = $1,000,262.
