You wish to retire in 27 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annuity of $60,000 for 30 years after retirement. During the period before retirement you can earn 9% annually, while after retirement you can earn 7% on your money. What annual contributions to the retirement fund will allow you to receive the $60,000 annuity?
$5,380.73
b.
$7,248.05
c.
$4,648.14
d.
$8,417.52
First we will calculate the Present of Annuity received each year of $ 60,000 for 30 years.
Where, C= Periodic Payments = $60,000
r = Periodic Interest rate = 0.07
n= no of periods = 30
So, Present value of Annuity at end year 60 is $ 744,542.47
Now, this Present value is the Future value of the annual contribution you had to make to receive annuity of $ 60,000 in retirement.
Where, C= Periodic Payments
r = Periodic Interest rate = 0.09
n= no of periods =27
Future Value = $ 744,542.47
67008.82 = C*9.2450821326
C = $ 7248.05
So, the annual contribution is $ 7248.05
Hence, option B
