Question

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To save for retirement, you will invest $1,450 a month in a stock account in real dollars and $570 a month in a bond account in real dollars. The effective annual return of the stock account is expected to be 10 percent and the bond account will earn 6 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an effective annual return of 7 percent. The inflation rate over this period is expected to be an effective annual rate of 3 percent.

b.	What is the nominal dollar amount of your last withdrawal? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
