This lack of participation presents a significant risk, as reliance on Social Security alone may leave individuals without adequate income during retirement years.#### Example Calculation:Let's consider an example to illustrate the importance of early investment for retirement.**Case Study: Jill Collins**- **Age:** 20 years old- **Retirement Goal:** $280,000- **Retirement Age:** 60 years- **Annual Interest Rate:** 5% (compounded annually)**Problem:** How much does Jill need to invest each year to achieve her retirement goal?**Solution Steps:**1. **Identify key variables:** - Future Value ($ FV $) = $280,000 - Annual interest rate ($ r $) = 5% or 0.05 - Time period ($ t $) = 60 - 20 = 40 years2. **Use the Future Value of an Annuity formula:** \[ FV = P \frac{(1 + r)^t - 1}{r} \] Where $ P $ is the annual investment. Rearranging to solve for $ P $: \[ P = \frac{FV \cdot r}{(1 + r)^t - 1} \]3. **Plug in the values:** \[ P = \frac{280,000 \cdot 0.05}{(1 + 0.05)^{40} - 1} \]4. **Calculate intermediate steps:** - $ (1 + 0.05)^{40} = 7.04 $ (approx.) - $ 7.04 - 1 = 6.04 $5. **Compute the yearly investment:** \[ P = \frac{280,000 \cdot 0.05}{6.04} \]6. **Final calculation:** \[ P = \frac{14,000}{6.04} = 2319.87 \]Therefore, Jill Collins would need to invest approximately **$2,320** each year (when rounded to the nearest dollar) to meet her retirement goal of $280

Engineering Econ: You’re looking at your parents’ retirement plans and studying the differences between their saving habits. On her thirty-first birthday, your mother Virginia invested $1,500 into her employer’s retirement plan, and she makes annual $1,500 payments for 10 years, so that her total contribution (principal) is $15,000. Your mother then stops making payments into her plan and keeps her money in the savings plan, untouched for 25 more years until retirement at age 65. Your father Anthony starts putting money aside on his forty-sixth birthday, when he deposits $2,000, and he continues these annual payments for 20 years until he reaches 65 years old. Thus, Anthony’s contributed principal amounts to $40,000 over this period of time. If Virginia’s and Anthony’s retirement plans both earn interest at a rate of 6% per year, compounded annually, then what is the difference in the future value of their savings when your parents turn 65? (e.g., FW(Virginia)-FW(Anthony)) Round…
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.
