Wants to be able to withdraw $80,000 per year at the end of each year from his retirement account for 30 years after he retires. Assuming a 7% annual compound interest rate, what is the minimum amount Mr. Smith must-have in this account when he retires?
Please indicate what you entered into your calculator to solve these problems.
Present value of annuity = Annuity amount * PVAF (rate of interest, number of years )
= 80,000 * PVAF(7%, 30)
= 80,000 * [ 1/1.07 + 1/1.072 + ....... + 1/1.0730 ]
= 80,000 * 12.4090
= $ 992,723.30 Answer
