Required information
Assume that 25 years ago your dad invested $320,000, plus $32,000 in years 2 through 5, and $49,000 per year from
year 6 on.
Determine the annual retirement amount that he can withdraw forever starting next year (year 26), if the $49,000 annuity stopped at
year 25. The interest rate being 14% per year.
The annual retirement amount is determined to be $
You are 20 years old. In five years, you will have access to a trust fund that will be worth $20,000 (at
the time of access). If you leave that money in an investment account earning 8% per year until you
are 60, how much will be in the account?
A $10,000 bond has an interest rate of 6% per year payable quarterly. The bond matures 15 years from now. At a nominal interest rate of 8% per year, compounded quarterly, the present worth of the bond is represented by which of the equations below:
PW = 150(P/A, 2%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 2%, 60)
PW = 600(P/A, 2%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 2%, 60)
PW = 600(P/A, 8%, 15) + 10,000(P/F, 8%, 15)
PW = 150(P/A, 1.5%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 1.5%, 60)
