Joanne is retiring this year. When she started saving 40 years ago, she planned to invest $1,000 per year in an account that promised her 5% annual rate of return. She diligently saved $1,000 every year, except for a five-year period that started fifteen years ago and ended ten years ago. How much does Joanne have in her account today?

Your sister turned 35 today, and she is planning to save $60,000 per year for retirement, with the first deposit to be made one year from today. She will invest in a mutual fund that's expected to provide a return of 7.5% per year. She plans to retire 30 years from today, when she turns 65, and she expects to live for 25 years after retirement, to age 90. Under these assumptions, how much can she spend each year after she retires? Her first withdrawal will be made at the end of her first retirement year.   a. $266,770.46     b. $556,561.79     c. $598,303.93     d. $517,731.90     e. $248,158.57

Two people plan to invest $50,000. Matt is going to invest it in one lump sum and leave it in the account for 25 years to use for retirement. Sarah is going to invest $2000 per year for 25 years and will also use the money in the account for retirement.     Is it reasonable to expect that Matt will have more money in his account than Sarah does in 25 years if both accounts earn the same interest?

On January 1, 1980, your favorite uncle John turned 43 and started saving for his retirement. He invested $18,894.75 each year on January 1 until he turned 62 on 1/1/1999 (20 total deposits). Over the 20 years, he managed to earn an effective annual rate of return of 9.50%, and he assumed he could continue to earn that rate of return until he turned 90. Looking at his account balance, he calculated that he could immediately withdraw $74,050.56 to cover living expenses for 1999. And, going forward, he could withdraw that same amount on January 1 of each year, but adjusted for a 3% inflation. That is, in 2000, he could withdraw $74,050.56 x 1.03 $76,272.08; in 2001, $74,050.56 x 1.032 $78,560.24; etc. He planned on a total of 28 withdrawals, with the last one of $164.487.70 on 1/1/2026 when he turned 89. At that point, the account balance would be zero. 501 On 1/1/2023, right after making his withdrawal for 2023, your uncle decided to become a Tibetan monk. He left you the balance of his…

Two friends, Alysha and Betty, are planning for their retirement. Both are 20 years old and plan on retiring in 40 years with $1,000,000 each. Betty plans on making annual deposits beginning in one year (total of 40 deposits) while Alysha plans on waiting and then depositing twice as much as Betty deposits. If both can earn 4.20 percent per year, how long can Alysha wait before she has to start making her deposits? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 125. Do not round your intermediate calculations.) Alysha can wait for years
