How much would you have to invest today to be able to withdraw $6,814 each month, for 6 months, starting 9 months from now, if your investments earn 5.37% APR (compounded monthly)?
PV of Annuity(8 months from now) = Monthly Withdrawal * [{1 - (1 + r)-n} / r]
= $6,814 * [{1 - (1 + 0.0537/12)-6} / (0.0537/12)]
= $6,814 * [0.0264/0.0045]
= $6,814 * 5.9071
= $40,251.22
PV of Annuity now = PV of Annuity(8 months from now) / (1 + r)n
= $40,251.22 / [1 + (0.0537/12)]8
= $40,251.22 / 1.0364
= $38,838.82
