She increases the contribution rate to $5,000 per year in years11 through 20. This is followed by increases to $10,000 per year in years 21 through 30 and to $15,000 per year for the last 10 years. This money earns a 9 percent return. First compute the value of the retirement plan when she turns age 65. Then compute the annual payment she would receive over the next 40 years if the wealth was converted to an annuity payment at 8 percent.
