Suppose that your retirement benefits during your first year of retirement are $60,000 per year which is just enough to
meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is expected to increase at an annual rate of
5% due to inflation. If there is no cost-of-living adjustment in your retirement pension, then some of your future living
cost has to come from savings other than retirement pension. If your saving account earns 7% interest a year, how much
should you set aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living for 25 years?
O $428,985.67
O S1,128,200.66
O $699,214.99
O $34,960.75
Suppose you plan on retiring at the age of 35 (early retirement woooooooo!) and expect to live another 45 years to the age of 80. You estimate that you can comfortably live on an allowance of $4,000 per month (including housing and medical expenses) while not working in retirement. If you wanted to purchase an annuity that would make monthly payments of $4,000 to cover your monthly allowance for the 45 years of your retirement, approximately how much money would you need to have saved by the time you are 35 in order to purchase such an annuity if the annuity pays an APR of 3.6%?

- ou decide to replace your income of $70,000 a year in retirement for 30 years. How much do you need in your retirement account the day you retire to make that happen, assuming a real interest rate of 3%?arrow_forwardQuestion # 3: Suppose that your retirement benefits during your first year of retirement are $50000. Assume that this amount is just enough to meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is expected to increase at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation. Suppose you do not expect to receive any cost-of-living adjustment in your retirement pension. Then some of your future cost of living has to come from savings other than retirement pension. If your savings account earns 7% interest a year, how much should you set aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living over 25 years?arrow_forwardAssume that you begin saving 3% of your total income in an employer-provided retirement plan at work. Each year, your income increases by 4%. As a result, you increase the percentage of your income you devote to your retirement plan by 2%. How long will it take for you to be saving at least 20% of your income? (Assume no taxes.) Based on your calculations from part a, how much will you be saving (using the end-of-year savings rate) over the next 10 years if you earn $30,000 this year? What is an alternative approach you might recommend for this situation? Why might it be better?arrow_forward
- You plan to retire in 20 years. At the point of retirement, you want to be able to withdraw 25478 at the end of each year forever. Assume that you earn a 7.11% rate of return prior to retirement and an 4.54% rate of return after retirement. If you do not want to make any further contributions to your retirement fund, how much do you need today? Round answer to the nearest dollar.arrow_forwardPlease show all steps on how to solve this problem. Your new boss doesn’t have a pension or 401(k) plan for your retirement, but she agrees to place aside $12,000 every year once a year for four years. She gives you the option of either starting immediately on your first day of work or starting one year from now. That makes this the difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due. If the plan earns 5% per year, compounded annually, what will be the difference between the two approaches after the four years / four payments? (RESOURCE: Annuities formulas) Note: We solve for both the future value of an ordinary annuity and the future value of an annuity due.arrow_forwardSecond Best Insurance company is advertising a new product to retirees looking to invest their 401(K) retirement accumulations. The idea is this: give us, Second Best, the lump sum of $720 today and we'll then give you, the retiree, an annuity of $230 to be received at the end of each year, beginning one year from today, for 6 consecutive years. From the standpoint of the retiree, calculate the NPV of this product if the required rate of return is 2%. $ Place your answer in dollars and cents. Indicate any negative amounts (if applicable) with a minus sign in front of the number. Do not include a dollar sign in your answer. Work all calculations using at least 4 decimal places of accuracy.arrow_forward
- When you retire, a key goal is to be able replace about 80% of your pre-retirement income level. Social Security will cover a higher percentage of low earners’ needed replacement income than high earners’ replacement income.

To save for your retirement, you plan on making annual contributions to a retirement account. Your first contribution will be made on your 31st birthday and will be 8% of this year's salary. Likewise, you expect to deposit 8% of your salary each year until you reach age 65. Assume that the rate of interest is 7%.
