Use Excel to solve the following problem. Assume that you are 39 years old planning for your future retirement at age 65. You think that you will be comfortable living on the proceeds from a $1,000,000 401K Retirement Account.a. If your investments grow at an average rate of 6% annually how much must you invest monthly to achieve your projected retirement fund total by the time you retire in 26 years?b. Assuming that when you do retire, you will re-direct your $1,000,000 investment portfolio into less volatile and more secure mutual funds. You expect that, invested in these sources, your portfolio will securely earn 4.5% annually. Based on your assumptions and the normal life expectancy of an American male or female (I determined this to be 81 years old), without consuming any of your principal, how much money will you have on a monthly basis to support your life?(I have worked this problem out on my own, I just want to be sure I applied the formulas and concepts correctly.)
