Quantitative Problem 1: You plan to deposit $1,500 per year for 6 years into a money market account with an annual return of 2%. You plan to make your first deposit one year from today.
Quantitative Problem 2: You and your wife are making plans for retirement. You plan on living 30 years after you retire and would like to have $75,000 annually on which to live. Your first withdrawal will be made one year after you retire and you anticipate that your retirement account will earn 10% annually.
1)
a)
Future value of Deposit = Deposit per year * ((1 + interest rate)no of periods - 1) / interest rate
Future value of Deposit = $1500 * ((1 + 2%)6 - 1) / 2%
Future value of Deposit = $9462.18
b)
Assuming that your deposits will begin today
Future value of Deposit = Deposit per year * ((1 + interest rate)no of periods - 1) / interest rate * (1 + interest rate)
Future value of Deposit = $1500 * ((1 + 2%)6 - 1) / 2% * (1 + 2%)
Future value of Deposit = $9651.43
2)
a)
Value of Retirement account = Withdrawal per year * (1 - (1 + interest rate)-no of periods ) / interest rate
Value of Retirement account = $75000 * (1 - (1 + 10%)-30) / 10%
Value of Retirement account = $707,018.59
b)
Assuming that your first withdrawal will be made the day you retire
Value of Retirement account = Withdrawal per year * (1 - (1 + interest rate)-no of periods ) / interest rate * (1 + interest rate)
Value of Retirement account = $75000 * (1 - (1 + 10%)-30) / 10% * (1 + 10%)
Value of Retirement account = $777,720.44
