Pensions Your pension plan is an annuity with a guaranteed return of 4% per year (compounded quarterly). You can afford to put $1,900 per quarter into the fund, and you will work for 40 years before retiring. After you retire, you will be paid a quarterly pension based on a 25-year payout. How much will you receive each quarter? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ We can use the TMV solver
Information provided:
Quarterly saving= $1,900
Time= 40 years*4 = 160 quarters
Quarterly interest rate= 4%/4 = 1% per quarter
The question is solved by first computing the future value of quarterly saving.
The future value is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
PMT= -1,900
N= 160
I/Y= 1
Press CPT and FV to compute the future value.
The value obtained is 743,627.
Therefore, the my pension fund will have $743,627 in 40 years.
Next, the quarterly payout during retirement is calculated.
The quarterly payout is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
PV= -743,627
N= 25*4 = 100
I/Y= 1
Press CPT and PMT to compute the amount of quarterly payout.
The value obtained is 11,798.20.
Therefore, the amount I will receive each quarter is $11,798.20.
