Answer
\( \boxed{1300.0} \)
Step 1 ：Calculate the monthly payment for a simple interest loan using the formula \( \text{PMT} = \frac{P \cdot r \cdot t}{n} + \frac{P}{n} \)
Step 2 ：Substitute the given values into the formula: \( P = 12000 \), \( r = 0.06 \), \( t = 5 \), \( n = 12 \)
Step 3 ：Calculate the monthly payment: \( \text{PMT} = \frac{12000 \cdot 0.06 \cdot 5}{12} + \frac{12000}{12} \)
Step 4 ：Simplify the calculation to find the monthly payment: \( \text{PMT} = 1300.0 \)
Step 5 ：\( \boxed{1300.0} \)
