Suppose people can live in two periods. In the first period people are young and they work. Each earns $20,000, and the payroll tax is 10%. In the second period, people are old and they retire. Retirees rely on social security benefits. The social security system is a combination of a funded pension and an unfunded investment, and the interest rate is 4%. People get the investment back when they retire. For the unfunded part, 50% of the payroll tax collected from young workers are paid to retirees immediately. In each period, the number of people grows by 5%, and the wage grows by 5%. In period 1 there are 100 young workers (first generation). In period 2, the first generation can get benefits from the social security program. Question: compute the benefit that a retiree of the first generation can get in period 2.

(Complex annuity payments) Milhouse, 20, is about to begin his career as a rocket scientist for a NASA contractor. As a rocket scientist, Milhouse knows that he should begin saving for retirement immediately. Part of his inspiration came from reading an article on Social Security in Time. The article indicated that the ratio of workers paying taxes to retirees collecting checks will drop dramatically in the future. In fact, the number will drop to 2 workers for every retiree in 2040. Milhouse's retirement plan allows him to make equal yearly contributions, and it pays 15 percent interest annually. Upon retirement, Milhouse plans to buy a new boat, which he estimates will cost him $200,000 in 40 years, which is when he plans to retire (at age 60). He also estimates that in order to live comfortably he will require a yearly income of $85,000 for each year after he retires.
