Question
Experts say that the baby boom generation (born 1946-1960) cannot count on a company pension or Social Security benefits to provide a comfortable retirement. It is recommended that they start to save regularly and early. Michael, a baby boomer, has decided to deposit $3000 every year in an account that pays 12% compounded semiannually for 15 years.
a) How much money will be in the account at the end of the 15 years?
b) Suppose Michael has determined he needs to accumulate $250,000 from this
c) If he cannot get the higher rate, what amount would his payments need to be in order to achieve the goal?

He wants his first retirement payment to have the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $40,000 has today. He wants all of his subsequent retirement payments to be equal to his first retirement payment. (Do not let the retirement payments grow with inflation: Your father realizes that if inflation occurs the real value of his retirement income will decline year by year after he retires). His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and he will then receive 24 additional annual payments. Inflation is expected to be 6% per year from today forward.

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?

- Please see attachedarrow_forwardSuppose that your parents are willing to lend you $20,000 for part of the cost of your college education and living expenses. They want you to repay them the $20,000, without any interest, in a lump sum 15 years after you graduate, when they plan to retire and move. Meanwhile, you will be busy repaying federally guaranteed loans for the first 10 years after graduation. But you realize that you won’t be able to repay the lump sum without saving up. So you decide that you will put aside money in an interest-bearing account every month for the five years before the payment is due. You feel comfortable with putting aside $275 a month (the amount of the payment on your college loans, which will be paid off after 10 years). How high an annual nominal interest rate on savings do you need to accumulate the $20,000 in 60 months, if interest is compounded monthly?

How much will Molly have accumulated when she turns 65 if she invests in equities and earns 8 percent on average? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Molly is urging her friend, Isaac Stein, to start his plan right away, too, because he's 45.
