Reese is comparing retirement plans with prospective employers. ABC, Inc., offering a salary of $58,000, will match 75 percent of his contributions up to 10 percent of his salary, his maximum contribution. XYZ company will match 100 percent of this contribution up to 6 percent of salary, but he can contribute up to 15 percent of his income. XYZ Company is offering a $54,000 salary. If Reese assumes that he will contribute the maximum amount allowed and keep these first-year retirement funds invested for 30 years with a 9 percent return, how much would each account be worth?

She asks you if she expects to be in the 10% tax bracket upon retirement, and she wishes to fund a retirement that lasts for 25 years, how much after tax money will she have to spend monthly? She conservatively assumes she will earn 5% on her investments during retirement and withdrawals are made at the end of every month. Enter your answer to the nearest dollar without the dollar sign.

A man who is 30 years old at the start of the year, is considering getting an MFM degree. He currently earns $40,000 per year and expects to continue earning that amount for the rest of his working life (until age 65). He will give up his income for two years and will pay $20,000 per year in tuition, if he attends business school. In exchange, he expects a raise in his salary after completing his MFM. Assume that the post-graduation salary grows at a 5% annual rate and that the discount rate is 8%. What is the minimum expected starting salary after graduation for him that makes attending business school a positive-NPV investment? (Assuming that all cash flows happen at the end of each year.) Use Time Value of Money calculations.
