2. Amount to be saved in retirement account = Amount * Present value annuity due (5%,40)
Amount to be saved in retirement account = 250000 * [(1 - (1+Interest)^(-Years))/Interest] * (1 + Interest)
Amount to be saved in retirement account = 250000 * [(1 - (1.05)^(-40))/0.05] * (1 + 0.05)
Amount to be saved in retirement account = 5000000 * [(1 - 0.142046] * 1.05
